I'm using a Stardent graphics workstation that is running either BSD 4.32 or
BSD 4.2 (I don't remember off hand, I'll have to look). The Stardent line has
been discontinued, so there are no upgrades coming. I'd like to set up SLIP
on my system, but I've heard that existing SLIP software requires modifying the
kernal. I don't have kernal source, just library and object files. Does
anyone know whether SLIP software can be integrated without kernal source? Is
it just another device driver (I've heard /dev/sl0 is built)? Help me Obi-Won,
you're my only hope.
