[comp.sys.sun] SLIP?

bryan@helens.stanford.edu (01/24/89)

I'm looking for information on a program (I think is) called SLIP: Serial
Line TCP/IP, or something to that affect.  Does it work well?  Is it
reliable?  Is it useful at 2400 baud?  Does it work over TIPS?  Is it
public-doimain?  Where is the souce?

thanks,
doug

[[ There are two versions of a SLIP "driver" in the Sun-Spots archives,
both freely redistributable.  One is for SunOS 3.x and the other is for
SunOS 4.0 and beyond.  The latter is still an "alpha test" version and a
few bugs in it have already been reported.  They are both stored under
"sun-source".  "slip.shar" is 38471 bytes and is for SunOS 3.x.
"slip4.0.shar" is 43344 bytes and is for SunOS 4.0.  They can be retrieved
via anonymous FTP from the host "titan.rice.edu" or via the archive
server.  For more information about the archive server, send a mail
message containing the word "help" to the address
"archive-server@rice.edu".  --wnl ]]
