Availability

SLIP is available for most Berkeley UNIX-based systems. It is included in the standard 4.3BSD release from Berkeley. SLIP is available for Ultrix, Sun UNIX and most other Berkeley-derived UNIX systems. Some terminal concentrators and IBM PC implementations also support it.

SLIP for Berkeley UNIX is available via anonymous FTP from uunet.uu.net in pub/sl.shar.Z. Be sure to transfer the file in binary mode and then run it through the UNIX uncompress program. Take the resulting file and use it as a shell script for the UNIX /bin/sh (for instance, /bin/sh sl.shar).
