For those of you who can't wait for the Linux SLIP port, here's an
alternative which I've been using successfully for 2 weeks now:
Get the 'ka9qbin.taz' package from your favorite linux server,
modify the 'startup.net' file such that it fits your setup, connect via
modem (e.g. using kermit) to some terminal server or Unix host supporting slip,
and then start the 'net' program from the 'ka9q' package.
This gives you a SLIP connection over which you can do ftp & telnet
(from inside 'net' - you don't need the ftp & telnet binaries!). Even X
works! (I'm typing this messge from my machine at home in a window of an
'emacs' running on our Institute's host.)
I hope this helps a bit,
Andreas.
