- I regret to have to tell you that the maximum number of SLIP interfaces in AIX 3.2
- is hard-coded at 8. I don't believe that there's any way around it.

- If this is something you REALLY need (and it probably is) you might have your IBM
- marketing rep see whether AWSD Austin could quote a price for a specially modified
- system (Programming RPQ, in IBMese) which would raise the limit.
