What about some way to run TCP/IP over the serial port?  Is it possible?  I've
looked in the "Enhanced TCP/IP WIN/3B LAN Interface" and they say nothing about
it.  They neither say you can nor that you can't.  I have a friend with an
Amiga running AmigaNOS that I would like to run SLIP to, but arghhh, I can't 
figure out how to get the thing ifconfig'd!!  Oh, BTW this is an ATT 3b1 that
I'm trying to do this from.  

While I'm at it.  Is there anywhere that lists what type of interfaces the
ifconfig command will recognize.  The only one that the manual mentions is 
en0.  Perhaps there is an interface for the Serial Line.  I see that sl0 is
the interface for StarLAN . . .

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
