I am trying to connect some of our Mac II's and SE's to a Sun network. I am considering using SLIP then I don't have to buy ethercard for the Mac's. Does anyone know any public domain SLIP, telnet and ftp source for Mac? Or any supply source that sell them? Please give me some hints. ------------- Francis Kam Computer Science Department Internet: mkkam@wael.cs.uh.edu University of Houston CSNET: mkkam@houston.csnet 4800 Calhoun Phone: (713)749-1748 Houston, TX 77004.

Phil Karn, KA9Q, has written an implementation of TCP/IP for amateur radio experimenters to communicate over packet radio networks. However, it also happens to be a full implementation of TCP/IP, telnet, ftp, etc. with SLIP and ether support. I use it for everyday stuff because in my opinion it is better than PC/IP and some other ports I have seen. I remember something something about a Mac version floating around. Try calling his Opus BBS: 719-495-2061. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Kurt Geisel, Intelligent Technology Group, Inc. | | Bix: kgeisel | | ARPA: kgeisel%nfsun@uunet.uu.net US Snail: | | UUCP: uunet!nfsun!kgeisel 65 Lambeth Dr. | | Pittsburgh, PA 15241 | | Know Future | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Try calling his Opus BBS: >719-495-2061. That BBS is actually Bdale Garbee's in Colorado Springs. Phil's code is also available via anonymous ftp from louie.udel.edu. Phil originally wrote the code in the DOS environment. A Macintosh port of it by Mikel Matthews has been around since early this year, and Mikel is just releasing another version Right About Now. He's getting very busy with work, however, so some other hams with Macintosh programming experience are going to be helping with further improvements. Some of them are on the net, so if you have any Macintosh-specific questions, you might try asking them here. Phil doesn't have a Macintosh himself, so it's difficult for him to answer questions about the Macintosh version. I'm informally keeping a list of everyone who's planning on helping with the Macintosh code, so if you want to know who else is doing what, feel free to drop me your name and net address. I'm *not* coordinating anything; the tradition with Phil's code is that anyone who wants to hack on it is utterly welcome to do so. I'm simply trying to keep track of who's doing what so that when someone has a specific question, I can say "write to so-and-so; he should be able to help." Not being a programmer myself, I figure this is as good a way as any to make myself useful in promoting this excellent software. (Yes, I use it myself over amateur radio. I personally haven't used it on Ethernet or AppleTalk, but I know people who have.) Patty Patty Winter N6BIS [44.4.0.44] DOMAIN: winter@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl,nsc,sun,dual}!apple!winter
