[ this was also posted to unix-pc.general, but i thought of the cross-post to here after sending it. sorry ] i am interested in establishing a SLIP connection between my system and a friend's SCO UNIX box. i am told we could do SLIP if i can get it running on my machine. as i understand it, SLIP is not part of the TCP/IP package for the 3b1. i heard somewhere that i could get KAQ9 to run on it, combined with pty's. where might i find this beast? [ as an afterthough: ] also, would the beast have been ported to the 3B2? i am planning on getting ethernet cards for our 3B's but the cost of the WIN/3B package is staggering. ( i can buy SysV R4 sources (educational discount) for less than the price of 4 binary licenses for WIN/3B. unforetunately, our current applications will not run on R4 and AT&T has not made a commercial release of it yet, so i'm not sure it's stable ) my application involves a minimum of rlogin, telnet and ftp services. mounting remote file systems is a nice to have, but not necessary. -- [ Jim Mercer work: jim@lsuc.on.ca home: merce@iguana.uucp +1 519 570-3467 ] [ "AIDS.
