[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] VJ compressed SLIP auto-conf added to SunOS-4 driver

ssb@quest.UUCP (Scott S. Bertilson) (01/12/90)

  I've added the automatic compressed client recognition to
the SunOS-4 SLIP driver distributed with Van Jacobson's
beta release.  It works fine with uncompressed clients, but
I haven't tested it with compressed clients because I'm
still hacking compression into KA9Q NET.  The changes are
fairly straightforward, so I feel pretty confident that I
didn't break anything.  I'd be happy to e-mail the changes
to anyone who'd like them.

Btw, I have modified Clarkson's version of NCSA Telnet to do VJ compression
in slip mode, and also added the auto VJ enable to the Sunos streams driver.

I'm also messing around with Splay tree data compression of packets, so far
I can get about 2700 baud out of a 2400 baud modem.. Not much of an improvement..

But 3270 data streams really get squashed quite a bit..

I also have a Streams PPP driver that I developed, and am using with the PPP
version of KA9Q... when I have a chance I'll add PPP to NCSA Telnet.
