Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me with my SLIP/TCPIP
trouble, and I also hope that this is not a FAQ.

I have 1 DOS PC and 1 Linux PC. The DOS pc connects to the
Linux PC via ethernet. The Linux PC connects to the internet
via SLIP and a 28.8 modem. I have tried many settings for DIP
and my rc.inet1 files and cannot get them to work correctly.

I have 2 problems that may be separate. 1) The linux box connects
to the SLIP server during init, but if I attempt to use the SLIP
by pinging the host or anyone else on the net, I get unknown
device errors and the modem drops. 2) I cannot get the DOS PC
to communicate with the Linux box via TCPIP. The DOS box is running
a TCPIP packet driver and a software package for telnet, ftp, etc.
I am using NE2000 clones in TP mode, connected by a phone cable.

If someone else is doing this, could you please send me copies of
your rc.inet1 and dip scripts and any other information that may
be applicable?

Thanks,

Bob Farrior
