Forgive if this was posted and I missed it. We have a uVAX running Ultrix that I would "like" to have SLIP on. Is such a beastie available? I saw the postings for UNIX, but not being a Unix or Ultrix wizard, I don't know how compatible the two really are. Any Ultrix wizards out there know about SLIP?? Thanks in advance, Darrel Beach -------

We got binary modules from a co-operative DEC support office (of course, we're on our own for setup and if it breaks). It is going to be quite difficult, if not impossible, for you to add it without either source, or help from someone who has source. We are using Ultrix 2.0 on a Microvax, and the SLIP line is our link to the ARPAnet. Seems to work ok, even when used as a router from our local ether to the wide world.

Can't claim to be an Ultrix wizard, but I seem to recall Fred Avolio of the Ultirx Group at DEC posting a message saying that he did have SLIP for Ultrix. I took a look at an Ultrix system at one time and kind of came to the conclusion that trying to do it yourself to a binary Ultrix distribution was no fun. ---Torben

I have a pseudo interface driver that is known to work on MicroVAX-IIs running Ultrix 1.2 and 2.0. This can function as a SLIP driver, in conjunction with a user-level program. I can send details if anyone is interested. > I took a look at an Ultrix system at one time and kind of came to the > conclusion that trying to do it yourself to a binary Ultrix > distribution was no fun. Trying to do anything to a binary distribution is no fun. I hold the view that if you don't have source, you shouldn't even consider using it. However it is possible to drop a new network interface driver into a binary distribution. I can send you the distribution package for my IP-over-DECnet stuff, which contains the pseudo interface driver and directions for installing it even on a binary distribution. I started to write the user program I mentioned above, but I don't recall whether I finished it or not. If anyone cares, I can check and possibly finish it. der Mouse uucp: mouse@mcgill-vision.uucp arpa: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu

ftp to ftp.com (128.127.25.100), user = anonymous, password = your
name, and get the file BUGLIX.SLIP.TAR. this is a distribution of slip
for a binary only ULTRIX 2.0 site. there is a readme file there to
explain how it should be done. if you have not rebuilt your kernel
before, here is not the place to start. if you have, this will get you
running. if you have problems with it, you can e-mail me questions.
(i dont get paid to support *this* code).

I read that...... I have seen other postings that indicate that a good SLIP isn't available... I'll keep looking... Jim
