Well, your initial subject is not *exactly* the same question that
you ask in the body :-).  First, bsd386 is *OWNED* by BSDI while 386bsd and
its offspring (FreeBSD and NetBSD) are freely redistributable and not really
owned by anybody in particular.  All of the aforementioned BSD OSes have
*lots* of networking capability builtin including TCP/IP and NFS.  FreeBSD
is available from freebsd.cdrom.com and *soon* will be coming out on CDROM
as I hear.
