You have to download the internet modules for the DC14 stack from Acorns
FTP site at:-

	ftp.acorn.co.uk/releases/networking/DC14/system.arc

For some reason RISC OS 3.7 doesn't come with them. Now you will need to
get the SLIP driver or PPP driver and InetDB modules. Make sure you get
version 2.xx of the drivers. I think these can all be obtained from the
Acornet server at:-

	ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/acorn/comms/

Also while you're there, get the freedial archive. This will allow you to
dial up using Acorn's stack plus will tell you how to configure Acorn's
stack for PPP or SLIP access using all the above components. It is much
easier to use than SlipDial. All other freeware applications should work
with this setup including the ones from the Acornet package.

I've had a problem getting the SLIP driver to work with the stack but the
PPP driver should work fine after you register it.

My only question is why did the Acorn TCP/IP Stack not come ready built on
the hard drive????
