[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] Serial-line TCP/IP?

wales@LOCUS.UCLA.EDU (Rich Wales) (10/26/85)

Has anyone implemented TCP/IP over serial lines in 4.2BSD UNIX?

We are connecting a couple of systems via a 9600-baud leased line,
and it would be wonderful if we could make them into a two-host
local network talking ARPA protocols.

I seem to remember hearing about something like this -- but I don't
remember who did it.

I'm forwarding your note to Bryan Gorman (gorman@isid), since I
think he knows of somebody in the Washington, DC area who has
implemented a 19.2 Kbps serial IP.
