TO the guy at phoenix whose letter i lost (sorry!) and to others interested in amiga slip: you can now get it from louie.udel.edu, login in as ftp, cd to pub, and you will see it in amigatcp.tar Good luck. It is a beautiful piece of work (i have been thumbing through the code). Works out of the can, no compilation necessary- the object file is called 'net'. On another note: Could we PLEASE stop the micro wars? We amigans have a very nice machine, but we have a ways to go before we are superior to the Mac as a *system*. There is too much junk even now for the Amiga for sale. I still can not print anything and have it look as good as what you could get on a 128K Mac+MacPaint or MacDraw- even on the newest 1.2! Let's hold our bragging till we have a *system* that we can brag about. Yes i have used the Mac and find it a perfectly hateful machine, but at least i can draw a reasonable diagram and print it. And lest we forget- Amazing Computing is printed on a LaserWriter. Can we match the new fancy programs coming out for the MAC II, such as PCards? I hope so. -- Ron Minnich

SLIP looks real interesting.... I'm attempting to get permission for somebody over here to recompile the 4.3 kernel with SLIP #defined in (it is in the standard distribution). It'l be neat over a 2400 baud modem!. Lets show those guys at MIT that they aren't the only ones who can put micros on the network! -Matt

Could someone please tell me where I can get a copy of a public domain
program for running SLIP on the Amiga? I read in a Cisco manual that it
was available for the Amiga but couldn't find it at some of the archive
sites (i.e. uxe.cso.uiuc.edu). Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
thanx,

Sounds like amigatcp (aka KA9Q) which appeared in comp.binaries.amiga
and comp.sources.amiga, which are archived on xanth.cs.odu.edu as
/usenet/comp.sources.amiga/volume89/comm/amigatcp.*
and /usenet/comp.binaries.amiga/volume89/comm/amigatcp.*
