I'm looking for information on PPP (Point to Point Protocol) and possibly SLIP. If anyone could explain them and what the differences are and/or point me to some documentation I would greatly appreciate it. What I'm looking to do is have serious dial-up connectivity to a LAN, none of this XMODEM, Kermit, terminal emulation, remote login stuff. I'm looking to use a portable PC running UNIX and TCP/IP to dial in to a LAN and NFS mount a file system, send mail, do host to host communication, etc. Because its a portable as well as cost factors, T1 and dedicated lines are not an alternative. Thanks in advance, and forgive me if this is in a FAQ list. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lyle D. Brooks lbrooks@shl.com 1010 N.
