[aus.comms] Dialin access to a TCP/IP network using Basic Rate ISDN & SLIP - experinces?

rcora@chudich.co.rmit.oz (Robert Alessio) (07/06/90)

	Has anyone had any experience in using Basic Rate ISDN so
	to allow dialin access for a remote IBM PC at 64kb/s.
	
	This is to allow remote access to a TCP/IP network for the tranferring
	of compressed document images which are about 40kbytes per page.

	We intend to use a Basic Rate ISDN Terminal Adapter card which
	will appear to the IBM PC as a COM port.

	My first guess would be to use the SLIP protocol over the 64kb/s link.
	(Note, I have ever setup a SLIP link.)

	Which SLIP package would one recommend (PC/TCP plus)?
	Are there alternative protocols?
	How would you allocated an IP address for remote IBM PCs which could
	connect to a different SLIP gateway everytime they dialin?

P.S	Does any know about the availability of Group IV ISDN Fax Servers or
	cards for IBM PCs ?

Thanks inadvance
