The port of the CSNET/CREN DialUpIP SLIP code that I've been working
on is now available for your use and abuse.

I'd like to thank the beta test sites that I had which gave me feedback,
problem reports and suggestions.  The beta test sites should upgrade to the
"real" version since the test versions will expire within 30 days.

I have dropped it off at the following archive sites:

	sonata.cc.purdue.edu:	/pub/next/submissions/SLIP_910613.tar
	nova.cc.purdue.edu:	/pub/next/submissions/SLIP_910613.tar
	cs.orst.edu:		/pub/next/submissions/SLIP_910613.tar
	umd5.umd.edu:		/NeXT/Software/SLIP_910613.tar

You should fetch this software with FTP in binary or image mode.
Extract the file from the tar image.  You'll see these files:

rw-r--r-- 21/10  14914 Jun 13 00:51 1991 README.wn
rwxr-xr-x  0/10      0 Jun 13 09:08 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/
rw-r--r--  0/10 246387 Jun 13 09:08 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/SLIP_v0.tar.Z
rw-r--r--  0/10    693 Jun 13 09:05 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/SLIP_v0.info
rw-r--r--  0/10   1302 May 29 01:45 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/SLIP_v0.tiff
rw-r--r--  0/10   4807 Jun 13 09:08 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/SLIP_v0.bom
rw-r--r--  0/10     49 Jun 13 09:08 1991 SLIP_v0.pkg/SLIP_v0.sizes

You will then want to invoke the Installer application on the
SLIP_v0.pkg directory; make sure that you do this as root.  This will
install files in the directory /usr/dialupip.  Once you've installed
the package, you can look at the documentation in
/usr/dialupip/Documentation.bshlf with the Digital Librarian as well
as the the README.wn and Installation_Guide.wn files.  Do a "List
Titles" in DL to see what's available, or just look in /usr/dialupip.

Please don't ask me to mail this software to you; its just too large
and I really don't have the time.  Please read the documentation
before yelling for help, and look at the sample configuration files.
You should already have access to a SLIP server or SLIP facility of
some kind; if you don't then this software won't do you any good.
