[comp.sys.ncr] SLIP On Towers

ian@ukpoit.co.uk (Ian Spare) (12/12/90)

We have several 500's here running win/tcp etc which allow SLIP connections
NCR seem unable to provide us with manuals , does anyone have any knowledge
of this ??? I would particularly like to know what the cable spec is for the
connection.

Right , there's an important point to made here ....

I am NOT ( REPEAT NOT getting at Sam ) but these answers appear too often 
in this group , it may appear to others that was a good answer .

It would be if NCR UK could actually get them , despite my repeated requests
to NCR UK we have not received any updates for TCP. They seem unaware that
the version of s/w they provide is totally different from the documented
version.

Meanwhile thanks for taking the time to answer but I'm no nearer to knowing
what SLIP on Towers is all about and NCR implementation details.
