Could someone please point me in the right direction for finding out about SLIP? I need to know if/where I can get it, what it costs, etc., etc. We're running Microvax-IIs with Ultrix 2.0 and 2.2. Thanks, Ross Parker uunet!ubc-cs!eric!parker | Microtel Pacific Research Ltd. | You can't erase the dream, Burnaby, B.C., | you can only wake me up... Canada, eh? |

I have an associate seeking any information, advise, warnings, etc. regarding the use of SLIP between two Suns over a leased line. He needs the ability to transfer files, remotely login, and send mail. Post or e-mail, as you wish...Thanks in advance.

I used it in both 2400 and 9600 baud. Remote login did not have tolerable response time with the 2400 baud line, and it was ok with 9600. Ftp is pretty good.. If I remember well, the throughput was nearly twice as fast as kermit over the same line. Mail had no problems whatsoever, it worked great. The only complaints I have is that it requires a lot of CPU interrupts to do the job. Sometimes my 'intr' scale of the perfmeter went upto 3200, way over the average of 400 or so. If you are to run slip over 19.2kbaud, I think it's worth it. Anyway, it's worth it, compared to uucp! George Kyriazis kyriazis@turing.cs.rpi.edu kyriazis@rdrc.rpi.edu ------------------------------
