[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Adding a SLIP streams module to a 3b2 running WIN TCP/IP

chris@manic.communica.oz (Chris Clarkson) (11/08/90)

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.

I'm working on the same issue, although I'm leaning toward PPP. 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.

Thanks...
