I am interested in moving my iris to my apartment, accross the street from the medical center, but I don't want to give up my network connection. Is there a version of serial tcp, as I understand, called SLIP known to run on an iris ?. I want to put it a pair of wires to home, and run a serial connection at 56,000 baud sync (with some old modems here) between my home iris and power server at the lab. I don't want to buy network bridges, network transceivers, and all the expensive stuff they use at the lab. This is all Out of MY Pocket !!!. dan(cheepie) -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

My suggestion is that you could setup SLIP with a couple of good Hayes 2400s/Hayes-compatibles (must be *good compatibility) or get a couple of Telebit T2500s. You can get them through UUNET at pretty good prices. If it were my choice, I'd go with the Telebit T2500. The fix-hayes and fix-telebit scripts to setup the modems are included in the uucp subsystem. Here is a copy of a posting from another (unknown) newsgroup that I saved. Compare these prices with those from your local sources: >Effective June 18, 1990 (when we get back from USENIX) "UUNET" will >sell modems to the general public in addition to its members.
