I know we have discussed on the list the fact that this solution only
supports SLIP and not PPP.  Has anyone done this.  We would like to be able
to dial up our RISC box to the net, and then temporarilary telnet to it or
send a file to another system via FTP.  Any experience out there with a SLIP
dial out to an ISP.  How are the IP address issues handled?  What ISP have
you used??  My ISP (Mindspring) does not support a SLIP connection, the only
on I know that does is IBM.
