    Subject: What do I need to get to do SLIP?
    
    I want to do SLIP between an AT-class PC and a SPARCstation running
    SunOS 4.1. I imagine I would need a SLIP server from Sun, but I'm not
    clear what I would need on the PC end. I've got FTP's PCTCP Plus, but
    it's still not clear from looking at that what exactly things like

PCTCP Plus comes on ~25 flavors, one for each type of network card we support.
The are numbered PC-201 to PC-227, (a couple numbers are skipped).
There are two ways to get a SLIP driver with a PCTCP kernel.  One is PC-205
which is a linked in SLIP driver, the other is PC-210 which includes a
generic SLIP kernel which can be used in conjunction with Clarkson's
SLIP packet driver.
