I've heard of this SLIP and would like to know more. What hard/soft wares are required? Which operating system? UNIX only?

You can run any IP application over the serial line, like X, rcp, rlogin, telnet, ftp, etc. It is supported on many platforms including BSD UNIX, AIX for the RS/6000, SunOS, DOS (ka9q) and OS/2 with TCP/IP from IBM and probably many others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Jacob M.
