You will see a big increase in performance with PPP over SLIP (at least, from my experience). You can find PPP software for all platforms also. I recommend you switch to PPP. *David* In article <4u92li$5rg@van1s03.cyberion.com>, scapstick@wwdc.com (Sean Capstick) wrote: > I'm having problems setting up a BSDI machine to operate in via SLIP. > I have no problem with dialing in.
