didn't originally work; by the time sun supplied a patch, I had
already gotten the slipware package (public domain obtained from
toronto.edu) working.

Works great, but of course the shortcomings intrinsic to slip will
soon make me switch to either PPP or cslip.

your best bet is to pick up CSLIP from uunet.uu.net; i've

One caution, some early versions had a typo in slip-attach.c in
line 154. It should say:
if(ioctl(sfd,I+PUSH,"slipen") < 0) {
The type said "slipe" instead. This resulted in a mismatch with
some other code so you got errors that said something like "can't
find slipe connection."

Try the sun-spots archives! Under "sun-source" there is a shar file
called "slip.shar". It can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the host
"titan.rice.edu" or via the archive server. For more information about
the archive server, send a mail message containing the word "help" to the

[[ There are two versions of a SLIP "driver" in the Sun-Spots archives,
both freely redistributable. One is for SunOS 3.x and the other is for
SunOS 4.0 and beyond. The latter is still an "alpha test" version and a
few bugs in it have already been reported. They are both stored under
"sun-source". "slip.shar" is 38471 bytes and is for SunOS 3.x.
"slip4.0.shar" is 43344 bytes and is for SunOS 4.0. They can be retrieved

Subject: SLIP sliding away...
People interested in running SLIP under SunOS 4.0 may wish to retrieve the
file pub/slipware.tar.Z by anon. FTP to ai.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65):
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 756689 Jun 10 16:20 slipware.tar.Z
This is a collection of tar files that should be "everything you would
ever need to run SLIP on a Sun". The individual components are also
available in the same location:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 297054 Jun 10 16:19 gated.tar.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 27125 Jun 10 16:19 slip-3.x.tar.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 25933 Jun 10 16:19 slip-4.0.tar.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 87827 Jun 10 16:19 tip.tar.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 307534 Jun 10 16:19 yapt5.5c.tar.Z
The :readme file from slipware.tar:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files in this collection (890610):
gated.tar - GATEway Daemon (1.9.1.3)
slip-3.x.tar - SLIP for SunOS 3.x
slip-4.0.tar - SLIP for SunOS 4.0 (1.14)
tip.tar - TIP w/ SLIP support
yapt5.5c.tar - SunOS 4.0.[012] serial line patch tape (by permission)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that gated, slip*, and tip, are all publically redistributable, and
the Sun YAPT5.5c patch tape contents are included by OK from Sun people.
I consider this version of SunOS 4.0 STREAMS SLIP to be Release quality.
It is highly unlikely there are bugs in it, so before you send me mail
about something please double check yourself, or use other resources.
I will NOT send out copies by mail, but am sending the SLIP and TIP
packages to comp.sources.unix for posting. Perhaps slipware or components
will show up at various archive servers.

We've seen 1.3-1.5Kbps on FTP transfers between SPARCs connected by
Trailblazer Plusses using PPP. Interactive traffic is reasonable.
Date: Tue, 9 Oct 90 13:55:23 EDT
From: bob@morningstar.com
We see very reasonable performance using Telebit Trailblazer Plusses
between Suns, but only with more modern stuff than SLIP. Lots of folks
use generic V.32 modems, with or without MNP5 data compression. Don't
bother with Classic SLIP (RFC1055), which will give poor performance over
any connection. At least use header compression (RFC1144), or better yet,
avoid SLIP altogether and use PPP (RFC1171).
