- The software has to be able to handle compressed SLIP, not the packet
- driver. For instance Clarkson University TCP (CUTCP) can talk CSLIP. In
- the CONFIG.TEL file there is an option "vjc=yes/no" (yes would turn on Van
- Jacobson Header compression for compressed SLIP).
-
- Another package is Ka9Q NOS/NET. These are the only two PD packages that I
- am aware of that handle compressed SLIP on DOS platform. Undoubtedly there
- are others.
