[comp.sys.mac.comm] Help on CICSO/TELNET with SLIP

ghe@physics.orst.edu (Guangliang He) (11/04/90)

I ftp'ed the Telnet from ftp.cicso.com which suppose to support SLIP. But I
don't know how config it. What I want to do is to run SLIP telnet on my
SE/30 at home, dial in via a 2400 supra modem to an IBM RS/6000 at school
which support SLIP. But I don't know how to make the Telnet dial the phone
number. Is there anyone using SLIP over modem? Can it be done?

Any help is welcome. Thanks a lot.

I'm also trying to use Cisco Systems' version of NCSA Telnet hacked
for SLIP support, and I can't get it to work either.

Email to Cisco'a address got me a short note to add "hardware=slip2400" to
the config.tel file.

I'm connecting to a Cisco terminal server, and it responds with an
ip address if I type "slip" to it, so something's working.  

I tried copying the ip address to the config.tel file, but the program just
quits after flashing the title screen, as it's done all along.

My system is:  iici, 8 meg ram, 2400 baud MNP5 modem (connected to same).

any help would be appreciated!
