I am looking for a version of slip that will run under ultrix 3.X and 4.0,
can anyone direct me to a copy?

	Ultrix 4.0 has SLIP on the tapes.  It is part of the unsupported
software DEC includes.  If you look in the Unsupported Software section of
the manual under 'slatch' (or something like that), you'll find what you are
looking for.  I think that uunet has some of the sources on their ftp server.

Install the ULXBASE400 subset (for Ultrix 4.0) and rebuild the kernel
with psuedo-device sl added to the config file.  From some comments in
this group I don't believe SLIP works in Ultrix 3.x, and I haven't
tried it myself.

We got a corrected driver module 'if_sl.o' from DEC and since then have a
running SLIP connection with ULTRIX 3.1C on a 5810.
