Is anyone aware of an implementation of SLIP (Serial Line Internet
Protocol) for the Macintosh?  Thanks in advance...

I am also looking for SLIP for Mac.  Please mail me info on the
whereabouts of this piece of software.  Is anyone out there
using this and if so how does it perform.

What are the minimum hardware requirements for this to work??

cheers,   Deepak Seth

I am using KA9Q's package for the Macintosh to use TCP/IP on packet radio, this
program implements SLIP (I guess, but I haven't had the time to dig around in
the sources). It is archived as MacNet, there is also a second program used for
reading and creating mail MacBM which is also in the archives. This stuff is
freeware (or Public Domain as you like) and sources are also available.
Perhaps it contains to much radio-amateur stuff for "normal" Mac network users
but at least give it a try...
Good Luck!
