Does anybody have implemented a piece of software on a UN*X 4.2bsd system
that supports the DoD Internet Protocol (IP) over asynchronous serial lines?

There are products available for MS/DOS PC's that offer this type of
attachment. These would allow PC-like systems that are located far away
from the Ethernet to get connected to the UN*X systems over phone lines.
PC users could take advantage of the Telnet, FTP etc. client functions as
if they were directly attached to the Ethernet, except they would experience
slower speed and some operational differences (dial-up, point-to-point etc.).

Thanks for your help,
Heinz Naef.
