Has anybody gotten SLIP to work between AIX 2.2.1 RTs? If so, could you
please explain to me how you get it to work?
Also, has anyone gotten gnuEmacs to run? I compiled it, and when I typed
"emacs", got "Killed" and that's it.
All replies appreciated in advance
Darren

There are at least two ways to do this. 1) use a direct connect RS-232C serial connection (using a NULL modem cable). 2) use a RS-232C modem connection (i've tested this using 1200 Baud Hayes Smartmodems and with 5853 IBM Modems). The modem switch settings are important, but I'll have to post these tomorrow since I don't have them with me at the moment. 3) add a tty device using the "devices" command. Use "ae false", "dvam 1", "rts 19200", "bpc 8", "pt none", "sns false", and "nosb 1" for the direct connect. Change "rts 2400" and "sns true" for the modem connection (change 2400 to whatever is appropriate). 4) uncomment the sample tty0: stanza in the /etc/net file. You will need to change tty0 to some other tty if your SLIP line isn't attached to tty0. Modify the dialstring parameter to reflect the phone number of the system on the receiving end. If you are using direct connect or if you are configuring the receiving end, then comment out the dialstring parameter. Also, set the netaddr and destaddr fields according to the internet addresses of the sending host and the receiving host. Make sure that the network portion of the SLIP IP address if unique from the network portions of any other network interface configured on the machine (such as Ethernet, Token Ring, or another SLIP). 5) issue the "netconfig add -s tty0" command. 6) issue the "ifconfig tty0 up" command. 7) ping the remote host "ping hostname" to test the connection. 8) if the connection doesn't yet work, then run "sh /etc/tcp.clean" and "sh /etc/rc.tcpip" on both systems to restart TCP/IP. If you are running NFS, be sure to restart it too. -- +------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | John Garnett | Base 1.9 | | garnett@rpp386.cactus.org | | | {bigtex|texbell}!rpp386!garnett | "It's almost binary" |

I second that motion, but I would like to know about SLIP for AIX-PS/2 Rob -- Rob Miracle | Bitnet : RWMIRA01@ULKYVX CIS: 74216,3134 Programmer/Analyst-II | INTERNET : rwmira01%ulkyvx.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu University of Louisville | UUCP : ...psuvax1!ulkyvx.bitnet!rwmira01 "Be patient, or be a patient!" -- Anton Devious (I believe)
