I'm writing a software-only networking package for the Amiga computer, to
work over standard serial lines.  I would like to use a standard,
already-existing protocol, if possible (to avoid inventing Yet Another
Protocol, and to make the work easier).  Of course, PD source code of some
kind would also be nice, but not required.

Someone here mentioned SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol).  Does anybody
have any information about this?

I understand AppleTalk is quite popular.  Does this require extra hardware?
What is its architecture like?

I can use anything, even if it isn't exactly 'ideal', just for the ideas if
nothing else.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.  My site isn't fully registered yet, so you might have to use a UUCP
path starting a 'higher' site, such as 'caeco!i-core!geo-works!bryan'.
