I have been following the ongoing discussions about slip et al. Paying attention half the time. Until this week I didn't think I would need to worry about. Bzzt. Wrong Answer. Well, I need to know how people have acquired slip for ISC. (Doesn't this sound like an FAQ?) By the way, I already use FAS (Nice job Uwe!). Email would probably be best, but what ever..........

The Hollis, NH salesperson told me >that SL/IP came with ISC UNIX... > SLIP comes with the TCP/IP pkg for ISC but only work with ISC v2.2 and newer (I think). So if you have v2.0.2, it won't do you much good. There is an alternative for ISC 2.0.2 that you can use, and even better, it's FREE. Someone (sorry I forgot the name, the software is at home) ported NOS (Network OS) from KA9Q to System V and it has SLIP. There are some caveats with this package: - you can only "go out" to another machine that has SLIP (slattach). - it's not integrated with the kernel so you can't do things like remote NFS mount, nor export. - The current software doesn't have an rlogind, nor ftpd (you could port it yourself from the freed BSD code). The advantages are: - for simple SLIP sessions to another machine, it works. Telnet and ftp are available. - it's free and comes with source code. I have a 386/20Mhz machine running ISC v2.0.2 and I got NOS running on it within a few minutes of compiling and installing it. With a direct serial connection (19.2K) to my Sony NEWS workstation (running BSD 4.3), I could do simple login (telnet) and copy files (ftp). That was 90% of what I needed, and the price was right. There were time when I wished it could do NFS mount, for file sharing during software development... But NFS sources are not free. There is a user level NFS package for MSDOS (SOSS), that might work here if someone is willing to do the work of porting it. I don't have time and I don't need it that badly. Where to get NOS for SysV? I found it at two ftp sites: thumper.bellcore.com primerd.prime.com For anon UUCP, you can pull it off szebra (my PUB NIX site): 1-408-739-1520 (Telebit+ so 300-19.2) login: nuucp password: nuucp ~/ls-lR.Z for latest directory listing Sorry, I forgot which directory it's in. -- Tin -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Does this NOS for SV support PPP?
