- SLIP will be your best bet. There should be instructions for SLIP in the
- MINT-Net archive.
-
- PPP is there, but according to Kay, some of the daemons and drivers are not
- complete. He states that someone is working on them. This is what I am
- waiting for since my company only provides PPP access and not SLIP.

-
- The above, plus a high speed modem (the higher the better!).
- Once you have a connection, it would be best if you had some of the useful
- network-type programs...telent and ftp come to mind. I figure with those two
- I can do most anything.
-
- I am waiting to try some of the other stuff like gopher and lynx. Here at
- my company we are shifting to heavy WWW usage, and with lynx or gopher, I
- can access most anything here in the lab.
-
- Now we just need to get ghostview/ghostscript up and working with Mint(not GEM)
- For that matter we need to get some kind of X interface-type standard...
