I need to get SLIP up on a 3b2/400 & 3b2/600 running WIN TCP/IP and vanilla 3b2 System V.3 Unix. I can find plenty of Berkely SLIP examples but no System V.3 examples. Can anyone point me towards articles, source or just give me some general pointers on the complexity of what I'm contemplating? Please reply by post. -- Chris Clarkson Tel: 61 8 410 1442 chris@manic.communica.oz.au Fax: 61 8 410 1443

If I get it ported, I'd be glad to send you a copy/mods to the BSD code, etc. If you do it first, PLEASE tell me what you did... The AT&T Enhanced TCP/IP WIN/3B has pretty good Berkeley compatibility routines in it as delivered. The real issue is one of linking the module into the Sys V kernel. I haven't tried this yet. I have seen SLIP implementations that seem to run as a user (as opposed to kernel) process, and if at all possible, I'm going to try to bring one of these up first, as I expect it'll be considerably easier.
