- I've searched high and low for public domain SLIP server software for
- SunOS 4.1.1 and I've only had a little luck. There are a bunch of files out
- in anonymous ftp land called slip-4.1.shar.Z. This looks like it's probably
- what I want but I keep getting "Unexpected fi" errors when I try to run sh
- on it to extract the sources. Also, does this version have the capability to
- use VJ compression?
-
- There is also cslipbeta.tar.Z, but, according to the README file, shouldn't
- be attempted unless you are a real kernel hacker. Has anyone got this to
- work on SunOS 4.1.1 without hacking?
-
- Is there another package out there that I just might be missing? I used
- archie but these two packages appear to be the only two available.
-
- I just installed ppp but haven't had a chance to try it out. Is there any
- problem with running both SLIP and PPP on the same machine? I think the
- answer is no, but I'm still getting my feet wet.
