  32. Description:
  33.  
  34. SlipDriver implements a hardware driver conforming to version four of the
  35. Acorn DCI specification for hardware drivers and provides hardware interfaces
  36. which talk the SLIP protocol over serial lines.
  37.  
  38. The driver supports an unlimited number of interfaces, each of which
  39. is attached to a specified serial line. The serial lines are driven
  40. using the blockdrivers, thus providing support for various dual serial
  41. cards as well as the internal serial port.
