SLIP sliding away...

[Rayan Zachariassen]

People interested in running SLIP under SunOS 4.0 may wish to retrieve the
file pub/slipware.tar.Z by anon. FTP to ai.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65):

-rw-r--r--  1 root       756689 Jun 10 16:20 slipware.tar.Z

This is a collection of tar files that should be "everything you would
ever need to run SLIP on a Sun".  The individual components are also
available in the same location:

-rw-r--r--  1 root       297054 Jun 10 16:19 gated.tar.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 root        27125 Jun 10 16:19 slip-3.x.tar.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 root        25933 Jun 10 16:19 slip-4.0.tar.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 root        87827 Jun 10 16:19 tip.tar.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 root       307534 Jun 10 16:19 yapt5.5c.tar.Z

The :readme file from slipware.tar:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Files in this collection (890610):

gated.tar	- GATEway Daemon (1.9.1.3)
slip-3.x.tar	- SLIP for SunOS 3.x
slip-4.0.tar	- SLIP for SunOS 4.0 (1.14)
tip.tar		- TIP w/ SLIP support
yapt5.5c.tar	- SunOS 4.0.[012] serial line patch tape (by permission)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that gated, slip*, and tip, are all publically redistributable, and
the Sun YAPT5.5c patch tape contents are included by OK from Sun people.

I consider this version of SunOS 4.0 STREAMS SLIP to be Release quality.

It is highly unlikely there are bugs in it, so before you send me mail
about something please double check yourself, or use other resources.

I will NOT send out copies by mail, but am sending the SLIP and TIP
packages to comp.sources.unix for posting.  Perhaps slipware or components
will show up at various archive servers.

If you wish to contribute improvements or send an electronic postcard, I'm
