Can someone please fill me in on SLIP for HP-UX? I have a pressing need and my HP sales connections say "we don't have any SLIP, supported or unsupported". Yet, I've seen discussion in this group about one. What is it? How can I get it? How reliable/robust is it? What are its drawbacks? I want to make occasional dialup connections for "ftp" and also run remote X windows (expecting it to be slow, even with a high-speed modem - we need to do remote support for a system we wrote for someone). Can I do these with this mythical SLIP? Some SLIPs I've seen on other systems seem to be set up for a hardwired serial connect, that's UP all of the time. I don't want to pay the phone bill for that. I need it to dialup "on demand". Others can be set up only as SLIP Servers, other only as Clients. I need both for HP-UX. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

SLiP is available in the HP-UX 8.0 release. I believe it is possible to obtain an unsupported SLiP for HP-UX 7.0. You would need to contact a SE and have him contact the right division. -art Art Harkin ash@cup.hp.com Hewlett Packard Cupertino, CA

I too would like SLIP. Is it available anywhere via anonymous ftp? In particular, I'm looking for binaries for the HP9000 series 300 on HPUX 7.0. Documentation and installation instructions will be needed as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niels Mayer -- hplabs!mayer -- mayer@hplabs.hp.com Human-Computer Interaction Department Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Palo Alto, CA. *
