Yeah, I wrote that article in Tao #3 about SLIP. I've since then found out some more interesting stuff. Firstly, normal SLIP would not work because the kernel has no support for redirecting packets from kernel space into user space, where it could be re-routed to a modem. Secondly, Thor Wolpert-Heinrich of SFU told me that a bunch of System Engineers of NeXT in Pennsylvania actually has a working SLIP, but it is hard to install. I've asked for the SLIP code but haven't gotten any answers yet. If anybody has a working SLIP that is certifiably working for NeXT, I'd like to hear from them. I've got two USRobotics V.32 modems with V.42bis compression that can achieve throughputs of up to 38.4Kbps, and I'll write up an article about SLIP performance in NeXT over these fast modems in an upcoming issue of Tao, given that I can grab the SLIP from somebody. Anyone listening in NeXT@Pennsylvania?? -Robert Lin

I don't know if this was asked before. Is there a slip package for the Next? Thank you. -- By me: Miron Cuperman <miron@cs.sfu.ca> "Those who would trade freedom for security soon will have neither." B. Franklin
