[net.unix-wizards] QUERY: Serial Line network interface

jim@ci-dandelion.UUCP (Jim Fulton) (09/05/86)

Has anyone brought up Rick Adams' serial line network interface under
Ultrix 1.2 or 4.3bsd?  I'm in the middle of doing it now but would like
to know of any problems with adding in the struct ifaddr support that might
jump up and bite me.  The target machine is a vax running Ultrix 1.2.  I've
already put in route.c and am about to integrate if_sl.c.

I'd also be interested in hearing about your experiences with it.  We are
planning on using it to link machines using high-speed modems over phone
lines.  Also, on what sorts of hardware have you used it?

Please mail any responses or me-too's to the address listed below.

To Rick, I've sent you some mail but some of our intermediate links have 
sometimes been flakey.

if_sl.c is included in 4.3 (see net/if_sl.c). several machines here at UCSD
are running it with good results.
