Hello. I am very interesting in learning more about "SLIP". I would be
thankful for any leads on references to information about it. Thanks in
advance for any and all help provided.

SLIP, the Serial Line Internet Protocol, was defined in RFC1055. A
performance improvement (header compression) was defined in RFC1144.
But don't bother: SLIP has been obsoleted by PPP, the Point to Point
Protocol, as defined in RFC1134 and refined in RFC1171 and RFC1172.mbell@cie.uoregon.edu (Max Bell) (08/25/90)

Thank you for the information. Could you tell me where I might be able to FTP these RFC documents? I am posting this to the newsgroup instead of by email due to the high number of people who emailed me asking to be forwarded any information I received.

PPP? I've bever heard of this. Is this protocol more efficient than SLIP? Is there a public domain implementation of PPP for Unix? Will it support PC-NFS? Please enlighten me... -- Craig S.
