>   Boot each kernel and do /etc/sysdef.

One need not boot the kernel to do a sysdef.  The format of sysdef is:
/etc/sysdef [system_namelist [master.d]]
Defaults are /unix and /etc/master.d.

$ sysdef /unix > /tmp/uconfig.new
$ sysdef /unix.old > /tmp/uconfig.old
$ diff /tmp/uconfig.old /tmp/uconfig.new

These will display the differences some exceptions.  One of which is
the default ULIMIT.  Another, which is an undocumented (at least in
the released manuals) parameter of master.d/kernel, is AUTOBOOT which
preforms the same as AUTODUMP, except with regard to power failure.
Anybody have any other undocumented configuraton parameters they would
like to share?

Subject: TCP/SLIP

Would someone please give me a reference re obtaining SLIP for 3B2? I'd
also appreciate hearing from anyone using it.  We are interested in using
it to link development environments via Telebit 19.2K baud modems. Thanks.
