Subject: SLIP
I have gotten SLIP to work under linux and windows, but the problem I have is that when I connect to my school's computer I don't login in as a user. I type 'SLIP'. This main computer allows people to connect to all the different computer systems in the school, compuer science, physics, engineering, ect... So everyone can use SLIP, and it doesn't need to be installed on every computer.
So my problem is, most of the software to use slip, besides the telnet doesn't work. They all assume I have logged in. i.e. WinGopher sends the command gopher, but the main compuer system doesn't undertsand 'gopher'. It only know rlogin and telnet. That's why telnet works. I am looking for a telnet program, which allows me to run wingopher, winarchie from within the telnet program. Or a program which similar to it.
Thanks
Mike
