It works fine for me, incoming and outgoing. I'm not sure what your setup
is, so I can't offer any advice. I'm very happy with it...but I do
wonder about the icon too!

Subject: Slip Server HOW-TO
DOS Slip Server HOW-TO using ka9q
May 11, 1994
This paper will attempt to help an individual interested in turning a
DOS machine with ethernet and internet IP address into a dial-in slip
server. This paper is based on my experiences tying to configure my
machine for just this purpose. Although I am not an expert by any
stretch of the imagination, I have learned a little from this
experience.
My configuration is a AST 486/66 Premmia running with 8 meg ram, 3C509
Etherlink III network card, U.S. Robotics 14.4k modem on the server
side.
Gateway 486/33 with 4 meg ram, Zoom internal 14.4k modem on the client
side.
Server side
1. First acquire two IP addresses (or one if you already have one).
The addresses must be in the same domain i.e. 123.123.123.xxx and
123.123.123.xxy. These numbers will be assigned by you system admin.
Be sure that you set up names if your site has a name server. Once
again your sysadm can help here.
2. Get the needed software. I will place the needed software on my
machine for anonymous FTP under slip_server. The address is
aurora.bld189.jccbi.gov (162.58.16.196). Some of this software is
shareware, so be sure to read the agreements. Here is a list of the
needed files from aurora:
Required nos11b.exe
nos11b.map
autoexec.nos
autoexec.bat
sliplog.zip
slippr13.zip
winsock.zip (you probably have this)
sliphow.txt (this document)
optional config.sys
You will also need a packet driver for your network card. The one you
use with winsock should be o.k.
3. Create a dir named nos and place all the files there. Then under
the directory nos, create another dir called slip. Place the
sliplog.zip and slipper.zip files in there and unzip them.
4. Edit the comlog.xxx files as outlined below:
comlog.msg - place your clients Ip address there.
comlog.pwd - The order has meaning. 1st name listed is sysop, he
has special powers! Read manual for more info. The second is guest.
The third is where I put my mine. The first entry on one line is your
password and will be what you type at the Login prompt when signing in.
The number indicates amount of minutes available each day. I set mine
to 1440 ;)
comlog.log - This is just a log file that shows who and when
access was made to your system.
4. Edit the autoexec.nos file inserting your Ip address and ethernet
address where noted. Save this file and place it in your ROOT (i.e.
c:\) dir. Be sure that you make all changes outlined in the beginning!
5. Create a boot disk in your favorite dos format and place the new
autoexec.bat on this disk. Be sure that everything points to the proper
place. The config.sys is nothing different. I'll include mine just for
your info.
6. Boot using your slip boot disk. If all goes well you will be
presented with:
Keyboard locked
enter password:
If you get this, and the auto-answer light on the modem is lit, all went
well, on the server end.
Go ahead and enter the password and play around with nos. Try to telnet
etc, to make sure it is configured properly. Once your happy, type lock
to lock the keyboard.
If you fail to get this message, double check all your paths and where
they point to. I also had problems with my vectors, make sure that they
are consistent through out the set up. If you still have problems,
contact me and we'll work together and try to solve it.
Client side
1. Create a dir named trumpet in the root dir. Place winsock.zip into
this dir and unzip.
2. Start up TCPman and select setup under the file menu. Select slip
with compressed headers, hardware handshaking. Fill in your client ip
address, nameserver Ip address, and domain suffix. Be sure the com port
and baud rate is correct as well. The numbers are mtu - 296, tcprwin
1024, and tcpmss 256. These are the numbers I use, I dont fully
understand these so if someone would like to shed some light on it...
3. Close TCPman and restart it for changes to take effect.
4. Under Dialler, select manual login. This will disable slip and
allow you to enter your modem dial command i.e atdtxxxxxxx.
5. Once you connect to the slip server and see the welcome message,
press return. You will the see the Login prompt. Once you enter your
password and press return, The server will display time remaining and ip
address. If you only get garbage or nothing, check your baud rates on
both end to be sure they are the same!
6. Press esc to enable slip and you should be slipping ;)
7. You will then need to set up all winsock apps.
This paper was written in about 1 hour so please, If it is confusing,
let me know. I will correct it ane repost it to alt.winsock and aurora.
Thanks!
