- Rumour has it that some users have been able to use SLIP packet drivers and the
- PDEther program to get SLIP support with LWP. Novell appears to be working on
- supporting SLIP and PPP in the next release. BOOTP should also be supported in
- the upcomming release.
-
- Unfortunately Novell's TCPIP kernel does not like to dynamically change it's IP
- address. It only sets it when loading the kernel. If anyone has gotten the
- undocumented function setmyipaddr to work please let me know.
