The version of KA9Q that I have for unix supports only SLIP, no
ethernet.  If anyone has a version that does support ethernet I would
love to hear about it. 

MSkermit ver.  2.32 now supports netbios.  And even says in the
documentation that "this can be used to log into some unix machines via
ethernet", but does not elaborate in any way.  Simply dangles that
enticing news and leaves you hanging. 

Anyone else know more about this?
