Hi Moe,

Nope, looks as though I will have to compile SLIP into the kernel. I believe
PPP is still there. "slattach -d -s 9600 -p ppp /dev/ttyS1 &" does the same
thing.

I'll have a go with minicom, and take a real look at /var/log/messages in a
moment when I boot Linux.

I'm just playing around with Dave Dunkels' uIP 0.9 TCP/IP stack, trying to
port it to an 8052 with Keil C. I got everything except the cgi scripting
working with Windows, but seem to need Linux's Ethereal to fix the last bit.

Regards,
Murray R. Van Luyn.
