- I have a question for those of you who have been using SLIP.
-
- We are setting up SLIP for a number of our professors who have NeXT
- machines at home as well as at work. They prefer to read
- their mail using the NeXT Mail GUI. Has anyone a list of practical
- do's and don'ts for setting up a mail client over a SLIP line?
-
- The SLIP server is also the mail server for our NetInfo cluster.
- I assume that I could go ahead and make the same NFS mounts that
- I normally would for a mail client, but I have heard that NFS
- can be troublesome over SLIP. What is the common net wisdom on
- this?
-
- Steve
