SLIP does come with Esix 3.2 Rev D and with Esix 4.0.3 Rev A. The 4.0
version is MUCH better than the 3.2 version. Also Intel published the source
for their SLIP for 4.0. Hardware required is a direct serial line or a modem.
We have tested our SLIP with Everex 2400 MNP modems and Telebits. Other modems
should also work.
