- 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-1.02.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.
-
- To build tslip you must also compile Taylor UUCP 1.04 (you don't have
- to use it for anything besides slip). As of 6/93, get
- ftp.uu.net:/systems/gnu/uucp-1.04.tar.gz. (Also available from
- other GNU archive sites.)
-
- To build tslip, first untar Taylor UUCP 1.04 and tslip. Apply a
- small patch to Taylor UUCP source. Instructions and a patch file are
- in the tslip source directory. If you don't have the gnu "patch"
- program, get it from ftp.uu.net:/systems/gnu/patch-2.1.tar.gz .
- Apply the patch, compile Taylor UUCP according to the directions in
- the README file (you need not install it). Then build tslip using
- the directions in it's README file (tslip links in dialing routines
- compiled with Taylor UUCP).
-
- tslip was contributed by Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com).
