As a long time jove user and hacker who has not messed with 386bsd since
Julian went back to Oz, I may be telling you something you already know.
The latest publically available versions of jove are always on
relay.cs.toronto.edu:/pub/moraes.

Currently that is jove4.14.10.tar.Z.

I would be relatively surprised if the bsdposix config did not work.  It
works on OSF/1 and all sorts of other things I have tried it with.

I would like to know if that does not work.
