For those of you out there interested in SLIP I have found the location
of the source for the binary DialUpIP. It is available from bbn.com (via ftp)
the name of the file is Dialup2.0.tar.Z Good Luck.

All thoughts are mine- for $20K a year BU can damned well get their own!

Alas, from the description found in the archive, one needs the kernel source in order to compile Dialup IP 2.0. I haven't tried installing it yet, however. Just a warning.

Yes and no. First of all, this is not a NeXT package--the 2.0 is BBN's version number.

On all the systems cited, this is the case. (I do note in passing that Ultrix3.x, 4.3BSD, and SunOS 3.5 are all obsolete versions!) NeXT takes a different approach with Mach--the kernel executable is frozen, and a kernel loader can be used to dynamically load and unload kernel servers. Any volunteers willing to do the work and contribute it back to BBN for inclusion in subsequent releases? If so, send a note to dialupip-request@sh.cs.net. If you're "just an end-user" please don't bother them with inquiries. -=EPS=-
