(yes, Dynix is much more) There is a freely available implementation of SLIP available for DYNIX. It does need to be built into the kernel, but instructions are supplied on how to do this, and you don't need DYNIX source code. We have been using it here for about 6 months, and it works fine, except it has crashed IP about a dozen times, which I think is another symptom of the poor terminal multiplexor drivers that are found on Sequents. You may have better luck than us, but we are going to start using a PC running PCroute soon. You can find the source to this in networking/Dynix.sl.tar.Z in uunet's anonymous FTP area, or send a message to info-sslip@riacs.edu for more information. -- The above message in no way represents the official opinion, policy or standing of Victoria College, or the Computer Services department of Victoria College.
