> Is there SLIP on Apollo 10.3? If so, where is it available from?

Now, I'm going to assume that you are asking about "Serial Line Internet
Protocol". when you say "SLIP".

THe answer is yes, it is available from /dev/sio1, and is controled by
doing an "/etc/ifconfig sl0  <ip-address> <dest-address>". Look at the
manual "Configuring and Managing TCP/IP" for more info, but be sure that
you have revision 002 (order no: 008543-A02). Also read the sr10.3 release
notes ("AA/install/doc/apollo/os.v.10.3__notes") for an important note about
baud rate limitations when using SLIP. In general, it is not reliable at
speeds above 4800 baud unless you have a DN4500 or faster machine.
