Is there a slip driver for a Pyramid? Would the slip driver in the sun-spots archives (which claims to work for a 4.2 VAX, too) work on a pyramid? I'm assuming there may be some minor editing, but could you get it to work? This is for a binary-only site. I would be interested in corresponding with anybody who has gotten this to work. -- Craig Jackson UUCP: {harvard!axiom,linus!axiom,ll-xn}!drilex!dricej BIX: cjackson

If you already have Ethernet, and you upgrade to OSx 4.4, you'll get SLIP, no extra charge. >Would the slip driver in the sun-spots archives (which claims to work for >a 4.2 VAX, too) work on a pyramid? Nope. The OSx networking isn't 4.2BSD, it's 4.3. Also, if you have a multi- processor system, you have this little problem of semaphores to deal with.... <csg>
