- slip.tar.gz - contains the sources of SLIP. To build and install slip
- driver and its utilities from the sources do the following:
-
- transfer slip.tar.gz
- type "gunzip slip.tar.gz"
- type "tar xvf slip.tar"
- type "cd src"
- type "make"

-
- slip.vj.tar.gz - essentially an update of the above, with Van Jacobson (VJ)
- header compression included. This is also known as CSLIP. If the
- other end of your line supports VJ Header Compression or CSLIP,
- this can improve your performance significantly. Transfer and
- install using the same procedure as slip.tar.gz.
-
- =====
-
- slip.pkg.tar.gz - contains the binaries of SLIP in the pkgadd format.
- Note: This does NOT include the VJ Header Compression/CSLIP mods.
- To install SLIP and its utilities do the following:
-
- type "cd /usr/spool/pkg"
- transfer slip.pkg.tar.gz.
- type "gunzip slip.pkg.tar.gz"
- type "tar xvf slip.pkg.tar"
- type "pkgadd"

- =====
-
- tslip-2.8.tar.gz - Similar to slip.vj.tar.gz, but supports transparent
- dial-out on demand (i.e., when packets appear from the ip driver),
- including login chat scripts. Connections are dropped during idle
- periods and transparently re-established when needed. Dialing uses
- Taylor UUCP routines, and hence regular uucp configuration files.
- See the README file in the distribution for special instructions.
-
- tslip was contributed by Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com).
