[comp.sys.next] A silly question -- does SLIP run on the NeXT?

clp@wjh12.harvard.edu (Charles L. Perkins) (07/22/89)

I joined this newsgroup a little late to infer the answer to this from the
 postings I've seen.  E-mail replies are fine if clogging the net is not
 useful for such a small question.  Any experience with SLIP (if it does
 run) on the NeXT greatly appreciated.
								Thanks,

slattach keeps giving me a device not found error (TIOCTL returns this) and
I haven;t been able to pry from the SE for our area whether SLIP is 
functional in 0.9.  It was supposed to be active in 0.9, but no luck so far.

I've set a slip link up between two 4.3 machines over a 9600 baud line, so I
know what shoudl work for a generic connection.  I'll post if and when we
get this working. Of course, it'd be wonderful if someone were to post tomorrow
saying "Idiot, this is what you did wrong!"  :}  never too proud
