I would want to use Telnet or FTP over a serial line. I have followed recent discussion about the subject. Two programs have been suggested: NET/Mac and a modified version of NCSA Telnet. I have fetched those two pragrams but they do not seem to work (I haven't been able to use them properly). NET/Mac 2.0 (apple.com) does not seem to support SLIP. Is there a special version that supports it? Where can I find this version? Telnet does not seem either to support SLIP. Maybe I have to change the config.tel file, but I do not know what it should look like. Now, I would like to know how this should work. How does my Mac know where to call in order to establish a connection with another machine? Should there be a special program running on the machine I connect to? Could someone who has used something like this summarize what one has to do in order to use these softwares with SLIP. -- Martin Dubuc Local S-242, Pavillon Principal dubuc@IRO.UMontreal.CA Universite de Montreal Tel.: (514) 343-6111, poste 3507

But we have a product called TCP/Connect II that allows you to establish a SLIP connection. You are then able to use our telnet (vt240/241,TN3270,Tek4014), FTP, NNTP reader, SMTP/POP, finger, etc... If this is of interest to you please drop a note to me with your SnailMail address and I will send some information to you. There is also a version of NCSA Telnet which you can get from Cisco (I think) that contains SLIP. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 703.709.9890 Creators of fine TCP/IP products 703.709.9896 FAX for the Macintosh.

You can get a modified version of NCSA Telnet 2.3 with SLIP and BYU's client FTP on host ftp.cisco.com (131.108.1.27). There is a README file which describes what you want to retrieve. This software was developed for our customers who use cisco Terminal Servers and SLIP. However cisco makes it available to anyone. Note that this is unsupported and provided as is. Greg Satz cisco
