(5) Put FTP in BINARY mode: binary
(6) Get SLIPARC.EXE: get sliparc.exe
(7) Quit FTP: quit
(8) Run the self-extractor: sliparc
(9) Verify all the files are here: dir /w
PHONE.EXE SLIPARC.EXE PHONE.HLP
TERMIN.COM UMSLIP.COM README.TXT

(10) (Optional) delete the self-extractor: del sliparc.exe
(11) Add this directory to your PATH,
usually set up in AUTOEXEC.BAT: PATH = XXX;YYY;C:\SLIP

What is U of Minn. SLIP?
It's a set of programs that puts an IBM PC onto a TCP/IP network through
a serial or modem connection. With SLIP, you can run network applications,
such as Minuet, Gopher, Telnet, Trumpet or POPMail from any location
that has a phone line. (You also need access rights into a dial-up
SLIP server).
U of Minn. SLIP supports modems from 2400 to 56700 baud.
The U of Minn. SLIP package includes:
UMSLIP.COM - A packet driver that makes the serial port look like a
standard network connection.
PHONE.EXE - A program that establishes your connection to a SLIP server
by dialing a specified phone number.
SLIP.BAT - A batch file that coordinates the loading and unloading of
the above programs and other network applications.
Plus some misc documentation files.
