- Apologies if any of this is repititious (I didn't see a FAQ) or otherwise
- idiotic:
-
- 1) I am working off a newly established SLIP service at my school. I'm
- interested in obtaining PC clients that support this device type (6, most
- software seems to support only ether-type (1) devices). Notably, I'm looking
- for NSLOOKUP. Does this pc client exist anywhere? What about a network
- time client (PDCLKSET only supports ether-type devices)?
-
- 2) I'd like to write my own clients. Can someone point me toward a TCP/IP
- library that supports SLIP (I use SLIP8250)? Borland C(++) is the language
- of choice. A PING client as a demo would also be incredibly helpful.
- (WATTCP only seemed to support ether-type devices, is SLIP support
- difficult to add?)
-
- Thanks for all help offered. I will summarize replies in a post if they are
- email'd to me.

- I'd use etherslip, but it seems to drop packets here and there with
- occasional errors. Isn't the SLIP/SLIP8250 implementation cleaner than
- the ETHER/ETHERSLIP pair anyway?
