- Greetings.
-
- Being a lazy netrunner, instead of poking around a couple thousand
- FTP directories looking at every SLIP implementation known to mankind [and
- probably a few other species], I'm going to ask some questions.
-
- First, the facts.
-
- My end:
- 80286-16 PC, 1mb RAM, 80mb HD [65mb free], PPI 14.4kbps modem.
-
- The dialin:
- Cisco box with Multitech 9.6kbps modem, I have a TACACS login.
-
- This account:
- Sparcstation-II, connected to the Cisco via T-1.
-
- I've seen things stated on some local newsgroups that lead me to
- believe I can, having a TACACS login on the dialin, run SLIP off it, or
- off the Sparc, or off something.
-
- I've poked around a couple FTP sites, and downloaded the most
- promising looking Zipfile... which turned out to be a couple hundred K of
- documentation. Ack. [Noack]
-
- I've been told ka9q can handle SLIP nicely, which encourages me,
- although the documentation doesn't really say a whole lot about handling
- it over a dialup connection, instead of packet radio, which I don't have.
-
- If someone out there could suggest specific files to get [and
- perhaps even specific FTP sites from whence to get them], I'd be a rather
- happy camper, and probably stop asking silly questions for a couple days
- while I tried to get it set up right.
-
- Of course, if you just want to tell me I'm silly, that's okay too.
- But anyway. Any answer is better than no answer.
