I remember an earlier discussion regarding DEC's "unsupported" version of SLIP, wherein it only supports a single line. We're having this problem now (Ultrix 3.1), and of course I wasn't paying close enough attention while the discussion was going on. Changing the config file to increase the number of units does not seem to help; apparently DEC has one or more modules hardcoded to allow just a single line. We need a working SLIP soon. If you know how to make DEC's SLIP work with more than one line, please let me know. If you know of any other version of SLIP which works under Ultrix 3.1 (VAX and/or MIPS CPUs), that would be great too. We don't care which way we get it, we just need it working. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Mike Bryan, Applied Computing Devices, 100 N Campus Dr, Terre Haute IN 47802 Phone: 812/232-6051 FAX: 812/231-5280 Home: 812/232-0815 UUCP: uunet!acd4!mjb INTERNET: mjb@acd4 OR mjb%acd4@uunet.uu.net "Agony is born of desire; that's what you get for wanting." --- Moev -- Mike Bryan, Applied Computing Devices, 100 N Campus Dr, Terre Haute IN 47802 Phone: 812/232-6051 FAX: 812/231-5280 Home: 812/232-0815 UUCP: uunet!acd4!mjb INTERNET: mjb@acd4 OR mjb%acd4@uunet.uu.net "Agony is born of desire; that's what you get for wanting." --- Moev

We used to have a version of SLIP from ucb that would work on an Ultrix 2.3 system. With the changes to 3.1 it no longer works due to massive changes in the internal structures of the kernel. We have looked at the SLIP that DEC supplies with Ultrix and tried it but it will only allow one connection per link, which isn't really useful. We also do not have Ultrix source so changing the old driver is not very likely either. The question is then, could anyone please direct us to a PD version of SLIP that will run on Ultrix 3.1 machines? It would also be wonderful if the code would work on the DEC RISC machines. Please e-mail any information that you might have to me and I will summarize the net if there is interest. Thanks in advance! Steve McCoole Applied Computing Devices uunet!acd4!smm
