Does anyone know how I can get the Clarkson SLIP packet driver to run over
a telephone line through a modem ?  To be specific - how can I dial into the
remote SLIP machine in the first place ?  I like to run WinQVT/NET with the
Clarkson SLIP packet driver over a modem/telephone line to communicate to a
UNIX workstation that also has SLIP support.  Any helps, suggestions will
be appreciate.
