  I've had some luck using the AmigaNOS program. It would appear to be a port
of 'NOS' (network operating system?), which was an enhancement of Ka9q, the
original packet radio SLIP program for PC clones.

  I believe that someone else asked this before, a couple of weeks ago,
I'm asking again: 
  Does anyone have the 'socket.h' file required to compile it?
  It would appear that there are no files ending with names beyond
'n' (as if the person that archived the files did:
  'lharc a amiganos19 *'  from a shell that expanded the wildcard,
to be chopped by a not-always-competent OS. 
  
  If there is interest, I'd like to start a mailing list of people
interesting in doing SLIP with the Amiga. If you are interested,
please contact me via email, and if I get enough responses I'll 
set up the mailing list.

  My hope is to eventually come up with a SANA compatible packet
driver.
