Quoth perl@PacBell.COM (Richard Perlman) (in <1991Feb18.185013.3410@PacBell.COM>):
#We are running SLIP on an ANNEX II terminal server @ 9.6
#connected to an IBM-PC which is running PC-NFS.  Our connection
#is "Direct" so we did not have to deal with the "Dial-up"
#dialogue.  Only one problem so far, other than getting the Annex 
#configured correctly:  NFSCONF removed the gateway options from
#the setup-screen -- we simply added the gateway command to
#networks.bat. 

... which will have absolutely no effect! If the "/x" (SLIP mode)
switch is set on the PCNFS.SYS line in CONFIG.SYS, we simply
ignore all routing and pump every packet down the line. What's
to route in this situation?
