- The naming problem is a netinfo thing. Even though netinfo probably isn't running on the
- SLIP client machine, somebody still uses the netinfo database for net name and address
- lookup. Just add all the appropriate names and net addresses to the netinfo hosts
- database.
-
- We've been playing with the routing problem for awhile now, and almost have it covered.
- We finally ended up with static routing from each subnet back to the SLIP server. For
- specifics, I'll need to pass this on to the gurus.
-
- There is hope. I can now set up a SLIP connection from my home, and NFS mount remote
- file systems (that are subnets) on my machine.
