Here is my situation:
I have an IBM RS/6000 box. I have a regular PC. No network stuff.
I would like to be able to connect the PC to the 6000 using slip and then
be able to use telnet to connect the 6000. Maybe even print from the PC
via the 6000. I was wondering if the Clarkston drivers would fit the
bill on the PC side. I believe I already have everything on the 6000.
Is all this possible? Any insights, suggestions, etc. would be helpfull.

1. Is your PC anywhere near the RS6000?
2. Does the RS6000 have an ethernet interface?
If the answer to both questions is yes, why don't you buy a cheap
ethernet card for the PC and tie them together with Thinwire? Then you
could run packet drivers with something like NCSA (public domain) or
PC/TCP+ (commercial). I've seen D-link cards advertised for under $100.
Thinwire is under $.25 a foot.
