Note: Files are compressed with gzip which is available from all GNU archive sites. ===== slip.tar.gz - contains the sources of SLIP. To build and install slip driver and its utilities from the sources do the following: transfer slip.tar.gz type "gunzip slip.tar.gz" type "tar xvf slip.tar" type "cd src" type "make" ===== slip.vj.tar.gz - essentially an update of the above, with Van Jacobson (VJ) header compression included. This is also known as CSLIP. If the other end of your line supports VJ Header Compression or CSLIP, this can improve your performance significantly. Transfer and install using the same procedure as slip.tar.gz. ===== slip.pkg.tar.gz - contains the binaries of SLIP in the pkgadd format. Note: This does NOT include the VJ Header Compression/CSLIP mods. To install SLIP and its utilities do the following: type "cd /usr/spool/pkg" transfer slip.pkg.tar.gz. type "gunzip slip.pkg.tar.gz" type "tar xvf slip.pkg.tar" type "pkgadd" ===== tslip-2.8.tar.gz - Similar to slip.vj.tar.gz, but supports transparent dial-out on demand (i.e., when packets appear from the ip driver), including login chat scripts. Connections are dropped during idle periods and transparently re-established when needed. Dialing uses Taylor UUCP routines, and hence regular uucp configuration files. See the README file in the distribution for special instructions. tslip was contributed by Jim Avera (jima@netcom.com). ===== Good luck!
