Hello:

I am looking for a SLIP, CSLIP or PPP program for a SCO Unix machine.

What I am trying to do is to dial into the unix box from a PC
running windows and netmanage chamaleon tcp/ip and once logged in
the unix computer, AT the shell level give a command like 'slip' or
'cslip' or 'ppp' (or similar command, that will be send fromthe
login script of netmanage chamaleon tcp/ip) in order to establish the
IP session.

I'd be interested in getting the sources for SCO Unix and, if possible
the binaries as well.

I know SCO Unix has PPP, but it's quite limited and not usable for me
now. I am interested in getting a new program to perform the described
task.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Felipe Barousse.

SCO ppp supports dial-in connections. You could also probably use slip/
slattach from a shell prompt if you really do need that (but you should
make it clearer as to why).

Why do you believe stock SCO PPP/SLIP won't do what you want?

Could you please elaborate a bit on how could I be doing that. I am root
on the machine, so no problems with that since I administer this host.

Because of it's limited number of PPP/LIP lines (four as far as I know) and
because it's configured based on UUCP which I dont like and because I only
want to establish SLIP or PPP sessions while logging into the system, that is
no dialout SLIP or PPP sessions.

I also want the users who login to be able to choose between a standard
asyn serial login to a UNIX shell to work as if they were at the office
on a dumb terminal or, using Chamaleon's TCP/IP scripts to login, activate
the slip or ppp and then be able to use this machine as a gateway to the
Internet and use Netscape from their home PC's, get the idea ?

Hope this helps and thanks for the assistance.

Everest (Release 5 of SCO OpenServer) supports 64 PPP connections of which
IP addresses can be allocated from a pool of available addresses.

I can't afford to upgrade to Everest. But I would like CSLIP so I can
dynamically assign an internet address to whoever logs in. Also, I don't want
to use UUCP: I've had trouble getting it working under SCO. The docs are not
clear. What can I do?

: no dialout SLIP or PPP sessions.

Everest or Release 5 will provide up to 64 PPP lines. I understand SCO
is offering very cheap upgrades.
As far as the UUCP configuration, that is only applicable if you are
dialing out- which you say you don't want to do. Set up a user with
a shell of /usr/lib/ppp/ppp, and give them an entry in /etc/ppphosts like

*ppplogin ttyr026 - rtscts tmount=20 mru=1024 protcomp accomp VJ

and configure a network with netconfig.
