Does anyone know if the SL/IP that you can get for SCO Unix supports more than one concurrent slip connection? How about for Esix? Jim

Hi Jim - I also am interested in this - it appears to be a limit in the AT&T product. Both Interactive release 3.2 and Intel release 4.0 limit SL/IP connections to one at a time - What we would like to do here on nstar - is have a dedicated SL/IP connection going into the internet - and allow various sites to SL/IP into nstar to FTP and TELNET from their machines through nstar. Right now, the limits of one SL/IP at a time create problems - maybe I could get another machine, network it into nstar - and then have another SL/IP session on the second machine? Also - what kind of luck have you had with SL/IP on smart ports? I can't seem to get the Computone Intelliport to correctly handle the SL/IP connection - while the stock Interactive tty00 driver on COM1 works fine (but then we all are aware of the problems with the stock driver - I wonder of FAS207 will work with SL/IP).. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar, uunet!sco!romed!nstar!larry, nstar%larry@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)

Also, my Computone Atvantage card handles the slip with no problems. I was thinking of using the public domain slip that was posted about a year or so ago as a second slip. It should work. If anyone from Latchman is listening I would like to hear from them. They have some pretty interesting things in their includes that ISC doesn't. Almost looks as if they are all set up for more than one slip, just needs to be enabled. BTW...How did you ever make out with that host table request you had? Did the gettable suggestion I made work out for you? Jim -- UUCP: nosc!jadpc!jdeitch ARPA: jadpc!jdeitch@nosc.mil INET: jdeitch@jadpc.cts.com

Slip works for you on your Computone - but it doesn't for me. Are you using hardware flow control (or any flow control) with your Computone ports? >BTW...How did you ever make out with that host table request you had? >Did the gettable suggestion I made work out for you? yes - I got it just fine - let us know what you find out from Latchman - (like maybe supporting multiple SLIP connections).. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar, uunet!sco!romed!nstar!larry, nstar%larry@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)
