- Well, this is probably a kind of FAQ.
-
- What you have to do is to setup the second PC to use the slip packet
- driver, and the first PC as a gateway between SLIP and Ethernet.
-
- To do this is relatively easy actually; let's say that pc 1 is on
- ethernet and pc 2 is the one connected to it via slip.
-
- A minimal autoexec.nos on pc 1 might be:
-
- ip address <ipaddr-1>
-
- attach packet 0x7d eth0 8 1500
- ifconfig eth0 netmask <netmask-1>
- ifconfig eth0 broadcast <broadcast-1>
- route add default eth0 <ipaddr-gw>
-
- attach asy 0x3f8 4 slip com1 2048 512 9600 cv
- route add com1 <ipaddr-2> direct
-
- rip add <broadcast-1> 300 1
- start rip
-
- The last two lines may be replaced, but this is rather controversial,
- with the following:
-
- arp publish <ipaddr-2> ether <etheraddr-1>
-
- This is proxy ARP. If the other machines on the ethernet understand RIP,
- proxy ARP should be avoided.
-
- A minimal autoexec.nos on pc 2 might be:
-
-
- ip address <ipaddr-2>
-
- attach asy 0x3f8 4 slip com1 2048 512 9600 cv
-
- route add default com1 <ipaddr-11>
-
- This is about all there is to it. CTS/RTS flow control may/may not be
- useful, and Van Jacobson header compression will most certainly be
- useful. Your serial ports may well support speeds higher than 9600 baud,
- especially if they are 16550AFN based.
