We are planning to connect to PSINet sometime during January via a SLIP connection. I've finally gotten DEC's SLIP to stop core dumping (apparently the sliphosts file must be perfect to prevent this). I have also been able to get compress SLIP to work, or at least it appears to work. When we connect with PSInet their system provides use with an IP address which I must feed to our end of the connection. I figure I can modify cslip (compressed slip) to get this IP address automatically. However, cslip requires a destination address for the other end of the SLIP connection. We would like for the connection to function as a gateway, rather than a point-to-point. Has anyone tried anything like this? Is there something I'm missing? --- Michael R.
