Dear networker,

I read something on UNIX world about SLIP, serial line internet protocol,
it appears that the SLIP was implemented on PC serial port, further more
it also mention about KA9Q. But just this two days I receive PCIP mail
that said KA9Q is a TCP/IP  on   ethernet card. I wounder is SLIP on
ethernet card too?  Is there anything like SLIP / KA9Q working on serial
port of IBMPC or compatible, such that one PC can be used as printer server,
all PC are connected in daisy chain manner(ie. each PC has two serial ports).
The speed of the serial port can go up to 9.6 Kbps.

Where can I get the documentation and source code of the KA9Q and SLIP?
How large are these programs? Is there any for MSDOS and SUN?
                                  Thanks in advance!sign
Luther
