- Description:
-
- The current Archimedes SLIP software, !TCPIP, does not come with a dialler
- of it's own. A comms program like Hearsay could be used but SLIPdial provides
- a better solution as it is small and allows for non-interactive use. It can
- also be used to generate !TCPIP configuration files for SLIP servers that
- assign IP addresses dynamically. SLIPdial uses the block driver version of
- !TCPIP; you will need the !SerialDev application to provide the drivers.
