Does anyone know of a version of slip for Ultrix 2.2 or 3.0 on a Vaxstation 2000, or a MicroVax 3200? thanks mark

With Ultrix v3.0 SLIP comes as an unsupported package. Look at
/etc/sliphosts & /usr/new(?)/slattach & so on.
I've been playing with it some recently and have been having
some problems. It has worked fine with direct dedicated connections
between a couple machines. But as soon as I attempted to emulate
a modem connection and drop the line -- the line wouldn't clean
itself up without necessitating a reboot. Instead it prints some
messages on the console about "rtpurge xxx xxx" where "xxx" was
a couple of kernel addresses.
On the originating machine (a VS2000) it only printed the message
a couple of times, but the machine was "hung" for about 30 seconds.
On the destination machine it kept printing the message, I couldn't
get any control back, and I always ended up rebooting the machine.
I feel it'll work *FINE* as long as you're only using it with direct
connections, but if you need it for something like dial-up-SLIP you're
out of luck right now.
I've been told that it will become an Officially Supported product
sometime soon.

SLIP is part of the unsupported software kit distributed with Ultrix 3.0. If you have the tape (CDROM, TK50, etc), it's there somewhere. Regards, Frank
