I managed to get SLIP working using direct-connected Trailblazer modems at 19200 bps between two VaxStation 2000 Ultrix 2.0 systems using some 4.3bsd SLIP source from the net, slightly modified to compile and fit into our Ultrix binary distribution. Interactive response (via rlogin over the SLIP line) was abysmal. Bulk data transfer (via rcp) was not bad for large files. I was going to test interactive response with data compression mode off, to see if that helped, but I haven't done that yet. Ultrix 2.4 seems to have a much nicer dial-up SLIP capability via an /etc/sliphosts file and login accounts that run /etc/slattach. Haven't tried that yet. -- -IAN! (Ian! D.

I'd appreciate knowing what modifications you made to the SLIP source to get things to work... I have slip compiling properly, but an slattach produces the error message: ioctl(TIOCSETD): No such device Have I simply forgotten something in the kernel configuration, or does the code need to be changed?
