I'm running Versaterm-PRO to communicate through a smart annex box with various hosts. I'd like to try out the SLIP capability of the box. What software is available for this? Ideally it would drop in to VT using the Communications Toolbox, but I'll take anything since this is mainly for testing purposes at this point.

To the best of my understanding, SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) allows a computer that has only a serial connection (not a LAN drop) to a machine connected to an internet (including #the# Internet) to operate as a peer on the internet. This means that a SLIP-connected computer has its own IP address and can do anything any other Internet machine can, assuming that it has the appropriate software. A SLIP-connected personal computer can run any TCP/IP-based application. Of course, I wouldn't advise attempting to NFS-mount a Unix directory to a Macintosh over a dirty 1200-baud modem line... SLIP for home computers will probably begin to come into its own when the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) begin offering Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines for residential connections. These could allow TCP/IP communications from the home to the Internet at rates as high as 128 kbit/sec. But don't hold your breath, especially if you're served by Pathetic Telesis...

I was surveyed a few months ago about my interest in potential new services, such as call forward but can still pickup, etc. AND ISDN! I told them I was very interested in ISDN, especially since the prices they were mentioning were cheaper than a second business line, and as I understand it, an ISDN connection has a minimum of 2 64Kb voice or data lines and one 9.6Kb control line. I hope they move on this fast! One reason that they may be doing this in vermont is that we are a relatively small market, suitable for testing, and the state and phone company have an agreement here that allows Nynex to introduce whatever new services they want with out any regulation, in return for agreeing to keep the cost of a basic residential service the same.

I would like to be able to receive and read news from my Mac, would this allow me to do that from a remote Unix site that I only have a modem link to?

Hello. I'm totally clueless as to what SLIP really is. I have a Macintosh IIfx that isn't networked to anything. I have a 2400 baud modem. Can I dial in with my wimpy modem and connect to the campus machines that support SLIP and have a "real" TCP/IP connection? I hear there is a "cisco?" version of NCSA Telnet that supports SLIP -- I can't FTP there -- 131.108.1.27. says "Net unreachable." Someone please help! Do I need MacTCP?

Does anybody have any information about the communication program SLIP?
What exactly does it do and where to get it?
