We currently run (generic) SLIP, but need to move to a dialup configuration.
I understand that we need the `header compression' routines & utilities
specific to dialup operation.
As we can't ftp, I'd appreciate it if someone could email me the additional
files required for dialup operation.
Thanks.
Kent

The issues of dial-up SLIP and header compression are orthogonal to each other. There are various implementations of dial-up slip, such as for BSD systems, Suns, Annex terminal servers, etc... I assume the header compression you speak of the is the Van Jacobson version developed at LBL and discussed in the IETF. There is a pending RFC on the compression mode, and several implementations are close to release (BSD, Annex, etc...). Compression is also an option for the sucessor to SLIP, PPP. Some PPP trial implementations will be demo'd at the upcoming InterOp conference in Santa Clara. Thanks, Milo

I'm running slip in a dialup configuration with the PC software from FTP Corporation. I would also like the information on the header compression routines but I also have a question. Will these routines work with "off the self" products such as FTP's PC-205 SLIP product and with some common public domain packages such as PC-Route which already support SLIP? Email or Post.
