I am seeking information on the SLIP protocols , I am trying to ascertain whether the 1/2 truths , rumours and lies I've heard are true. My main questions are : 1. Can SLIP be used to bridge subnets ?? 2. Can SLIP give a multiplexing of virtual lines on the same physical line ??? 3. Is SLIP based in software solely ??? 4. Where do I get it ??? 5. What kind of through puts are possible ??? 6. Who controls the 'standard' ??? 7. Where could I get it ??? If anyone can help me out here please e-mail me ( Maybe I could summarise if there seems to be interest/demand ). If anyone has a good SLIP answer which the're dying to use and I've not asked the question please mail me the answer ( pref with associated question ) .
