- MacSLIP is an option. However, it doesn't present its own icon from
- within MacTCP. It is an entirely separate control panel. It can
- probably determine its IP address using the "set" and the "ipfind"
- commands from within a script. (I haven't tried these commands because
- we're using hard IP numbers right now.)
-
- I've been using v1.01 for a couple weeks, and I've been pretty happy
- with it. I purchased it for $25 through a university site license, but
- I think it's about $50 or so retail.
