SLIP…
>>What's SLIP?<<
SLIP is Serial Line Internet Protocol. It's used for dial up connections
between two CPUs running TCP/IP (TCP/IP is Transmission Control Protocol /
Internet Protocol and is how the Internet is connected). Via a SLIP
connection, you can do the same commands that you could if there were a
direct connection between the two machines. Of course, you had better have
a fast modem for FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or RCP (Remote CoPy).
I found this out because I connected my PC (running OS/2) and my Amiga
together using TCP/IP, which happened to be the only inter-compatible LAN
communication method available. That is, without buying another PC to act
as a Novell File Server.
