Has anyone gotten SLIP to run on two DEC Station 3100's via 9600 baud modems? I have tried DEC's unsupported slattach and BSD 4.3's slattach. Both of them do not work. I have used tip between the systems! Either post or send e-mail to me directly. Thanks, Tim Heldt heldt@ece.wsu.edu Systems Programmer Electrical & Computer Engineering Washington State University

It didn't run with the system as delivered. But (thanks to DEC) we got a new sl-driver, and after rebuilding the kernel SLIP ran o.k.. Note, that the format of the /etc/sliphosts file slightly changed ( host field added in first place). -- Wilhelm Methfessel UUCP: uunet|mcsun!unido!ztivax!meth Siemens AG, ZFE IO 2 meth@ztivax.UUCP 8000 Muenchen 83 Internet: meth@ztivax.siemens.com Otto Hahn Ring 6 Phone: +49 89 6363894
