Slip (ip over serial lines) can be found on several anonymous ftp sites on the internet, try any of the following: uunet.uu.net, rutgers.edu, ucbarpa.berkeley.edu and so forth You will need to decide which version of SunOS you intend to run on your two boxes, I presume that you'll use SunOS 3.5 or later, e.g., the current 4.1 release. You will find binaries for both the SPARC and Motorola architectures (actually .o files, you'll need to build a kernel, not hard if you follow instructions or have done it before on any bsd-derived system), and the user level code (slattach and friends). Since this is a little out of the ordinary for the telecom news group, I suggest that you figure out what your going to use for modems, Sun hardware and software, then go exploring on the cannonical internet ftp sites. If after doing this you want more assistance, post a query (details are always appreciated) to comp.protocols.tcp-ip. If you want some one with experience to spend a few hours setting you up, post a pre-proposal to misc.jobs.contract. Below is a list of files in the slip _source_ distribution I use (note, _not_ for Sun gear, I support 4.3bsd on the IBM RT platform): [brunner@bullhead:390]% find slip -type f -print slip/sl/README <- obvious slip/sl/man/manl/dstaddr.l <- man page for dst addr config slip/sl/man/man8/slattach.8c <- man page for link config slip/sl/src/local/dstaddr.c <- src for slip/sl/src/local/Makefile <- obvious slip/sl/src/local/slattach.c <- src for slip/sl/src/sys/net/if_sl.c <- kernel serial line driver src, vax version slip/sl/vax.diff <- patches conf/files, h/ioctl.h, net/route.c and sys/tty_conf.c slip/sl/sun.diff <- same for files, ioctl,h and tty_conf.c slip/sl/if_sl.c.diff <- patch for Sun If you don't have SunOS source, you'll want the relocatable binary object file I mentioned earlier. Don't forget to use binary mode when doing the file transfer. #include Eric Brunner, Consultant, IBM AWD Palo Alto (415) 855-4486 inet: brunner@monet.berkeley.edu uucp: uunet!ibmsupt!brunner
