[comp.sys.next] SLIP Survey

jcargill@oka.cs.wisc.edu (Jon Cargille) (03/19/91)

I've seen plenty of talk about SLIP go by in this group, but haven't
seen a lot of concrete information about who's actually using it, and
with what success.  That's the point of this posting: to gather this
information.

If you have any experience (positive or negative) with setting SLIP up
on your NeXT, please email me.  Please tell me where you obtained the
version you're using/tried to use, how well it is working (or not
working) for you, and how difficult it was to set up.  I will post a
summary.

I'm interested in using SLIP to connect from my NeXT (030, 1.0a) at
home to a unix box (3100) at school.  I've taken a look at
SLIP_2.0.tar.Z, which seems to have NS 2.0 dependencies.  Is anyone
out there happily using SLIP under 1.0?

Thanks for any information; emailed replies preferred.  I'll summarize.
