I would like to be able to transfer data from a networked unix machine to a portable computer which cannot be put on the network. Both machines do have serial ports, and it was suggested that I look into SLIP, the Serial Line Internet Protocol. However, I have been very unsucccessful in tracking down information on how I can go about using SLIP. Can someone please tell mewhat I must do to use SLIP? Is there public domain software out there? Is it part of the system already? Thanks alot for any useful information/pointers. Please respond via email as I don't read this board. If there is any/enough response, I will post a summary. --Michael Ginsberg, i386 Mach Group, School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARPA: mg32+@andrew.cmu.edu |Electrocution, n: BITNET: mg32@cmccvb | Burning at the stake with UUCP: ...!harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mg32+ | all the modern improvements. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex is not the answer.
