I would want to use Telnet or FTP over a serial line. I have followed
recent discussion about the subject. Two programs have been suggested:
NET/Mac and a modified version of NCSA Telnet.

I have fetched those two pragrams but they do not seem to work (I haven't
been able to use them properly). NET/Mac 2.0 (apple.com) does not seem to
support SLIP. Is there a special version that supports it? Where can I find
this version?

Telnet does not seem either to support SLIP. Maybe I have to change the
config.tel file, but I do not know what it should look like.

Now, I would like to know how this should work. How does my Mac know where
to call in order to establish a connection with another machine? Should there
be a special program running on the machine I connect to?

Could someone who has used something like this summarize what one has to
do in order to use these softwares with SLIP.
