Do you mean dialup IP just as dialup uucp is done for news/mail
transfers now? I didn't know you could do that.
There are two popular methods of encapsulating IP datagrams for
transmission over serial lines (including over dialup modems): the
Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) as defined in RFC 1055, and the
more recent and functional Point to Point Protocol (PPP) as defined in
RFCs 1171 and 1172. There are several implementations of each
available for free, and several companies are incorporating them into
their products.
Our engineers use PPP heavily over Telebit T1600s and T2500s and
Trailblazer Plusses to make their home Suns appear to be part of the
office network, and therefore part of the Internet in general. It all
works very nicely.kozowski@ohsu.edu (Eric Kozowski) (06/10/91)

The RFC-INDEX can also be found in that directory. Donald acton@cs.ubc.ca
