- After reading some of the PPP propaganda^H^H^H^H^H info :-)
- it seems that PPP is, perhaps, a better way to go than the
- older SLIP protocol. I got the ka9q distribution, and it
- talks about SLIP only. I am aware that some linux'ers are
- working on an Alpha SLIP.
-
- Is this a true SLIP product? Is the newer SLIP competitive
- with PPP? Has someone hacked a version of PPP for Linux?
-
- I'm getting ready to start bringing SLIP/PPP online, and
- obviously want to do it right the first time. I don't
- want this to turn into a flame war between PPP and SLIP;
- just want to know the rational for the SLIP choice.
-
- And while I've got you here, thanks for the great OS,
- Linus and co.! 3 months without a hitch...
