- For those of you who can't wait for the Linux SLIP port, here's an
- alternative which I've been using successfully for 2 weeks now:
- Get the 'ka9qbin.taz' package from your favorite linux server,
- modify the 'startup.net' file such that it fits your setup, connect via
- modem (e.g. using kermit) to some terminal server or Unix host supporting slip,
- and then start the 'net' program from the 'ka9q' package.
- This gives you a SLIP connection over which you can do ftp & telnet
- (from inside 'net' - you don't need the ftp & telnet binaries!). Even X
- works! (I'm typing this messge from my machine at home in a window of an
- 'emacs' running on our Institute's host.)
-
- I hope this helps a bit,
-
- Andreas.
