[comp.unix.i386] Multi line SLIP

joe@astph.uucp (Joe Broniszewski) (08/09/90)

Does anyone have any experience using more than one serial line
for SLIP at a time?  I am running 386/ix 2.2 and would like to 
have 2 modems running SLIP at the same time.  Can it be done?
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

I am also very interested in multi-line SLIP, with up to four lines
running at the same time.  The other problem I haven't figured out
how to resolve is hoow to make SLIP resopnd to any address.  I want to
allow a user to dialin via modem and start SLIP (which I know Interactive
2.2 supports, and it works!), but at the present time I can only get it
to work with one address (like 44.60.0.200), but want it to respond to
any 44.xx.xx.xx address.  Does anybody have any idea how I might 
acomplish the above...

I will respond to my own question here.  I was wondering whether
or not I could more than one port running SLIP at a time.  According
to ISC tech support, they currently only support one line at a time.
They said that if I could get anything more going, I would be on my
own.  They also mentioned that in the next release, there may be multi-
line SLIP or PEP available.
