The SLIP (Serial Line IP) code which has been previously mentioned in this news group is available for anonymous ftp and anonymous uucp from me10.lbl.gov (128.3.128.110). It can be found in the directory "/hp-ux" (for ftp people) or "/usr/spool/ftp/hp-ux" (for uucp folks). There are two files, ppl_s300.Z and ppl_s800.Z. Choose the one which is appropriate for your architecture. Please keep in mind that this code is unsupported by HP, and by me. -jem -- JEMilburn@lbl.gov ...!ucbvax!lbl.gov!JEMilburn

It hasn't been explained to me yet. The person who requested that I remove it is one of the folks who was instrumental in making it available, so I didn't complain too much. A further explaination has been promised. -jem -- JEMilburn@lbl.gov ...!ucbvax!lbl.gov!JEMilburn

Ok, if you would like to mail it to me I promise not to tell anyone. :-) We run HPs almost exclusively in our dept. and SLIP would be nice to have. What's the problem with distributing it? Jay

care to comment WHY?
Well, for one thing, if it contains licensed code, then HP needs to
make sure that it only goes to licensees.
Go ahead and call your field office while we are figuring it out. It
*is* available, but not through FTP right now.

>care to comment WHY? I certainly would.... ;) Please note: I SPEAK FOR MYSELF, NOBODY ELSE, AND CERTAINLY NOT HEWLETT PACKARD. I was the one who asked John Milburn not to re-distribute the HP-UX 7.0 patches for SLIP, as well as the SLIP software. Thank you, John, for your cooperation. I did this because this software is unsupported in Release 7.0, and because it involves some changes to libraries used in building the kernel. These libraries contain a driver as well as other modules not directly related to SLIP. The original intention behind providing an earlier-than-planned "pre-release" of SLIP was to meet a need. The people involved in this decision asked that the local HP customer support people be kept "in the loop." This translates into asking that customers get these patches thru their support engineer. The latter is thus aware of who has the patches; should a problem develop on the patched system (and we certainly hope it doesn't, but we're trying to be cautious here), this information may be helpful in more readily identifying the problem. It will also be helpful in distributing any updates, should this become necessary (again, none are anticipated, but we're trying to be cautious). Further, the support engineer can assure that any dependencies among the libraries and patches are met. This is to maintain a high quality of support to the customer. There never was any intention to restrict access to this software, other than, of course, to HP-UX licensees only, and in a sensible manner. The software IS available... >>>>>>>>> THRU THE CUSTOMER'S LOCAL SUPPORT ENGINEER ONLY <<<<<<<<<<<<< ^^^^ I deeply regret having been insufficiently clear how to get this software. This has caused extra work and delays for numerous people, and for that I apologize. I also regret having led anyone to believe that there were any restrictions on this software other than in how one gets hold of it, and (as should be obvious) to HP-UX Release 7.0 licensees only. Please bear in mind that this software is being made available on an UNSUPPORTED BASIS FOR HP-UX RELEASE 7.0. Further, the machine named in the earlier posting is not on the public network. Please: o DO NOT bother its administrator o DO NOT send requests to the administrator for tapes to be made, etc. All requests for the SLIP software and the patches to the kernel for 7.0 must be made thru your local support engineer. Thank you for your patience. Lyle Weiman
