Could someone help me out? I have SCO Unix TCP/IP. It only allows one SLIP connection at a time. Does anyone (Interactive, are you out there) that makes a TCP/IP package that will allow more that one SLIP connection at a time? I would like to do something like this: Location 1 Location 2 Location 3 Machine A Machine B Machine C SLIP ----------><------SLIP SLIP -----------><-------SLIP I would like to have all three machines up @ 9.6 speed all of the time with this arrangement. Any ideas? Please email me what you think if you would. Thanks.

SCO Unix 3.2 only allows one SLIP at a time? Did you find this someplace in the documentation? IF so please pass info as to where. I'm working on a systemm where we'll need to do what you show. (2 SLIPS off one host) and would hate to get boxed in if that is truly the case. Mind you I'm new at all this and my SLIP experience on SCO is very limited. I've managed to establish a session from a PC running KA9Q's NET but that's about it. Have you tried doing multiply "slattach"es? I would think it should be possible as it labels the connections as "sl0" to indicate the first SLIP. Don't have the specs handy, but just type "slattach" for param lists.

A person at SCO, ericd, told me it was possible to have more than one slip. It was reiterated by paul@bohdan. He supposedly sent a script which let this happen. The script either didn't arrive, or got eaten somewhere. I fired off a request to support@sco.com but have heard nothing but all the machines at sco tell me the message was delivered. Paul, if you are out there, the script didn't arrive. Please send it again. SCO, if you are out there, a response, negative or positive, would be appreciated, besides the return receipt (which I didn't ask for) from each of the people that get mail under support@sco.com.
