There is a dial-up SLIP package available for the NeXT. It can be FTP'ed from next.com (or some machine in that domain - I'm not sure, since I don't use it myself). As I remember, it was either written or ported by Cal Thixton at the NeXT Pittsburgh sales office. You might try calling him for more details (I don't have the number handy, but you can get it from Directory Assistance in area code 412). - --Pat. ------- Message 4 Date: Sat, 9 Feb 91 9:53:06 MST From: Jacob Gore <jacob@blackbox.gore.com> To: vcerf@NRI.Reston.VA.US Subject: Re: SLIP for NeXT Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip / comp.protocols.tcp-ip / vcerf@NRI.RESTON.VA.US / Feb 8, 1991 / > Does NeXT have SLIP or PPP support?

No, there is no SLIP or PPP support for 2.0; moreover, there is no System V STREAMS support to port more conventional implementations. One of our folks here, though, has been told by some folks at NeXT that they are working on a PPP implementation.

Stolarchuk" <mts@terminator.cc.umich.edu> I'm asking the same question right now. If you get any answers about PPP please let me know. I can already answer the question about slip. Someone from NeXT ought to answer directly, but who knows what they read. The slip changes are kern-loader loadable; they can be integrated without making direct kernel modifications. If you get no answer from next, I'll send you the names (mail addresses) of people you can bug. ... you can have what I've got (slip). mts. michael t. stolarchuk U of Michigan Ann Arbor, Mi. 48105 ------- End of Forwarded Messages
