New DIP-3.3.7-uri released. It's on "sunsite.unc.edu"...
A few patches applied, some cleanup. Should really
improve server functionality... Thanks to Rob
Jenssen for providing his "tty_notlocal()".

I'm happy to announce new release of well-known DIP...
It's "dip337g-uri.tgz" on "sunsite.unc.edu", either
in "pub/Linux/Incoming", or "pub/Linux/system/Network/Serial".
Lots of upgrades, lots of patches... Thanks to Paul Cadach,
Pauline Middelink, Bill Reynolds, who kindly sent their
patches and mods to me.
In short:
- it supports proxy arp now (much easier routing);
- allows SLIP users not to be present in /etc/passwd (of
course you don't HAVE to use this feature - I was begged
to include it in the package, so I did :-);
- powerful "config" command (again, it can be security hole
of considerable size, but it's blocked by default - to use
it you'd have to recompile "command.c";
- DIP script language now supports variables.
Several other changes, fixes, streamlining, screwing up and such...
Please test it, especially dial-in part - I wasn't able to ensure
it handles line drops smoothly [in this release].
As always, thanks, bug reports (with fixes :-) and compliments are
welcome (:-).
