[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Is there a wordsize/parity standard for SLIP?

charles@c3pe.UUCP (Charles Green) (05/06/89)

I just finished tying a MightyFrame (5.22 CTIX) to a Gould via SLIP.  To do it,
I have two 'dd' processes hanging off two otherwise-unused ports on the S320:
the port which is the input to one 'dd' and the output to the other is 'stty'ed
to cs8 parenb (for connection to the CT's SLIP side via a 2-inch null modem),
the other port is cs8 -parenb to talk to the Gould, which doesn't use the even
parity that the MightyFrame does.

Though this is less than efficient, without the appropriate source code, I see
no other solution.  But this made me wonder:  Is there a standard for word
size, parity, or number of stop bits on SLIP?  And which of these variations
are out there on what vendor's systems?

I'll be glad to summarize Emailed responses if there's interest...  thanks.
