- OK, here we go. I am primarily a Macintosh user. I have never posted to
- comp.unix before and since I see no comm forum like they have for
- Macintoshes, I am posting here. If someone knows of a more appropriate
- place for this message to be posted, please email me and I'll repost.

- Anyways, what I want to do is to install a SLIP driver and whatever else
- is needed on a UNIX machine so I can dial in and use Macintosh programs
- that emulate UNIX ones (FTP etc.) The people who run the UNIX machine
- don't seem very up on how SLIP works, so I turned here. I believe the
- machine is running UNIX Release 5, version 3.2. Snce it is a 386
- machine, it may be running Xenix (the login sequence displays a
- Microsoft Copyright). The man did say it was release 5, though, so that
- is what I'm going on. What I would like to know is what files should I
- ftp from what sites and how I would go about installing them. I can
- deal with tar and shar files, but I'm a little murky on C compilers.
- Yes, we already have a working progam that allows modem logins. I also
- can handle the Mac side of the SLIP connection. What I need to know is
- the UNIX side.
-
- I will appreciate any information, no matter how vague, that can point
- me in the right direction. Thanks!
