How can I use TCP-IP ?

Wed Mar 20 05:14:05 AEST 1991

Hello Netters,

I have two SCO-UNIX 3.2.2 boxes running on 386, and 486 and two
Toshiba laptops running either Unix or Mess-Dos. Now to the point.

I would like to be able to hook up all these crates with Ethernet, Cheapernet
or whatever and TCP/IP or PC-NFS. Can anyone suggest hardware, software,
problems that will occur, costs and so forth ?

What is Slip ? Can one use it over modem lines at 2400bd ? Is it always 
included in any TCP-IP Software packages ?

I would much appreciate any answers, since this is complete newland for
me.

If there is enough response I am willing to post a summary.

Thank you very much.

/JP
