I have been trying to follow the net diligently 
(really, I have...), but I've never seen a satisfactory 
explanation of whether or not it is possible to use slip in
a version of NCSA Telenet or other software to make a TCP/IP
connection to the net. 

I have dial-up access to a cisco server that will run slip, and
access to a UNIX account (obviously). Is it possible
to get my Mac to comunicate in TCP/IP over the serial line
while connnected to the cisco server? Do I still need the 
MacTCP driver installed?

Please E-mail me if this has already been anwered to
everyone else's satisfaction.

Thanks in advance.
