SLIP fans, old and new Having been watching the traffic for the past few weeks and noticed all the people looking for more info on SLIP, I think it's high time something was done about this, so (I'll probably regret this) I volunteer! Apart from the fact that I am looking for the same thing (and have had some modest success) I think it is a worthwhile exercise. So, I will undertake to prepare a summary for the net on SLIP and its availability and use. What I want to do this is info from SLIP users. All those of you out there using SLIP, please email me summaries of: Equipment Configuration SLIP software version, where you got it etc Usage Problems Any other info In particular, I think people wanting SLIP are looking for the PC + modem to Brand X UNIX box solution - feel free to correct me if I am wrong. No summary of SLIP would be complete without reference to ka9q and ppp, so info from actual users of these is solicited as well. Please do not send source code, RFCs, or long specifications of any sort, user experiences and known locations (USA, UK and Europe) of SLIP code is what is wanted. Look forward to hearing from you Andrew Hardie London, England

iPardon my ignorance, but I would like to know what is SLIP,
the technical details of it. If I build a transmitting
device (i.e. modem) can I incorporate SLIP on it.
Thanks.
