Hello.
I'm totally clueless as to what SLIP really is.
I have a Macintosh IIfx that isn't networked to anything.
I have a 2400 baud modem.

Can I dial in with my wimpy modem and connect to the campus machines
that support SLIP and have a "real" TCP/IP connection?  I hear there
is a "cisco?" version of NCSA Telnet that supports SLIP -- I can't
FTP there -- 131.108.1.27.  says "Net unreachable."

Someone please help!  Do I need MacTCP?
