With all of the talk of Ethernet alternatives, and serial line multiplexing, I would like to find out the status of projects such as SLIP with reference to workstation devices such as IBM PCs, Macintosh's, and Sun's. I have heard that device drivers work for these, but I have not seen a complete implementation yet. Can anybody point me to them? I would like to make use of an existing slip network driver such as an Annex II terminal server to expand our building network out to remote research sites, giving our Prof's and grad students the horsepower and flexibility of ethernet without the expense and bother of leased line or ethernet. Another possibility I am interested in is making a MacII as a router between a slip gateway and his localtalk net.
