RHSLIP & RHCSLIP SANA-II device drivers
---------------------------------------
[This document is based on the original by Commodore]
NOTE: The rhslip and rhcslip drivers work exactly the same way (from the
configuration point-of-view). All you have to do is substitute the word
"rhslip" for "rhcslip" in this file (and in your applications) to make it
all work :)
The drivers are placed in DEVS:Networks by the Install_AmiTCP installation
script. The Install_AmiTCP also asks for the configuration information
needed for the drivers and generates command for the configuration file
generation into the "startnet". The Install_AmiTCP can only make
configuration file for the unit 0.
If you plan to use multiple units, you must create the other configuration
files yourself. The file's are named cslip[unit number].config. So,
RHCSLIP unit 5 would have a configuration file named cslip5.config. (RHSLIP
unit 5 would have slip5.config). Currently, there is a limitation of eight
RHCSLIP units, 0-7. The configuration files should be placed in
ENV:Sana2/.
Usage
-----
If you are using the rhcslip.device to connect to a dedicated line, you
should leave out the 'CD' option in the configuration file. You should set
the baud rate to that used by the other end of the line. Also, the MTU
(Maximum Transfer Unit) must match the setting on the other end of the slip
line. The default value is 1006 bytes.
If you are using the rhcslip.device to connect to a dial-up slip
connection, you will need to configure your modem to ignore the DTR signal
from your Amiga. Next, you will need to use a terminal program to dial the
cslip line. Once you have connected, quit the terminal program. Then,
start AmiTCP with the "startnet" script created by the Install_AmiTCP.
