[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] IP explanation please

chip@osh3.OSHA.GOV (Chip Yamasaki) (04/29/91)

I would like to have IP access to some of the many "anon FTP" sites, but
I don't have TCP/IP.  I suppose I could get SCO's TCP/IP, but how
exactly do you connect.  I thought the TCP inferred Ethernet.

I know there is such a thing as SL/IP, and PPP, but if you have those
who do you connect to and how?

Do I need an Internet address to use even SL/IP?

Can I get everything I need in the BSD sources on UUNET?

Can the BSD sources be ported to SCO Unix Sys V 3.2.2?

What questions am I forgetting to ask?

Why is there air?

Thanks!
