Good Morning!

I am consulting with a large company that wishes to provide IP access
to its employees' homes.  Some of these machines will likely be
Macintoshes and they have decided to use either Serial Line IP (SLIP)
or the Point to Point Protocol (PPP).  I have not been able to find
any TCP/IP package for the Mac that uses either of these protocols
(though my search has just begun :-) but I am aware that A/UX comes
with a SLIP driver.  However, I need something that will work under
the Finder rather than from Unix. If you have any information about
such a package, please e-mail or post it here along with whether it is
PD or proprietary, and how to obtain it. 

Thanks in advance,
