- I was wondering if anyone had come up with a creative kludge to get
- slip to work via a telnet connection on an apollo (specifically, on
- a 4500 with SR 10.4) since it only works with tty01, it would have
- to be both a hardware/software kludge. i suppose a null modem could
- be hooked between tty01 and tt02 or tty03. someone logged into
- the machine could then start a program to send input to tty02 (and
- therefore back to the slip on tty01) and also send info coming in on
- tty02 (from slip really) back out to stdout. i assume this would be
- fairly trivial to write, at least for low baud speeds (2400 or less)
- if someone could tell me about one, or give me some ideas about how
- to do this in unix i'd appreciate it. (i've done wiered things on a
- dos box to do something similar, but i could just write direct to the
- hardware ports then...)
-
- any comments appreciated
