- I am planning on setting up a SLIP connection but am having some trouble and

- Check your slip mtu. The Apollo uses 1000 for both send and receive. Also,
- it doesn't do vj header compression, so make sure you turn that off on the
- other end. And start tcpd with the '-p0' option. And don't try to use the
- Apollo as a router between slip and anything else (token ring or ethernet),
- it won't work.

- It's also not a good idea to use routed on a slip-connected stub machine, or
- even on a home internet. I've got three networks on my home internet, and
- just use default routes everywhere.
