Could anyone direct me to where I can get my hands on SLIP server software for
Solaris 2.3 or 2.4. I need to provide dial-up slip access on my Sparc10 to some users
but could not find a slip package for Solaris.

Thanks a million!

Me too!
Would you please send me information about this!
Thanks

I put a SLIP I use on Solaris 2.2 (it should work on 2.3 and 2.4 too)
on the anonymous ftp server ftp.ece.wisc.edu in the pub/slip directory.

I have been using it to dial out from a Classic.  I have not tried it
but I would expect problems if it were used as a SLIP server on a
Sun with dial-in lines.

As you can see a bit rude (I force CRTSCTS regardless command line options
and default baudrate to 38400 if no baudrate options provided), but I had
to do something quickly. Give it a try. Andy.
