- I'm looking for a way to establish a SLIP connection across a
- dialup line (19,200 baud) on one of the following machines:
-
- Sun w/SunOs 4.0 or AT&T 3b15 or IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2.2)
-
- There are several packages available, but all of them seem to
- require that the kernel be modified to include a SLIP daemon
- or that the slip host program be run under root. Is it possible
- to run a slip host program under your own login ID so that your
- current terminal session would be converted to a SLIP session?
-
- Thanks much,
- -Tom
