Hi-
	I'm thinking about using SLIP to connect my Amiga to the Internet,
and I was wondering if anybody has any experience doing this?  What software
do I need?  I'm mostly interested in telnet, rlogin, and ftp, but I'd
also like to use nntp.  Is it possible to use rrn over SLIP?  What kind
of connection do you need to run SLIP?  Can I just dialup my UNIX machine,
start the SLIP server, start the SLIP client on my Amiga, and I'm connected?
Does the Amiga version of SLIP come with a socket library, so that you can
take Unix programs and compile them on the amiga to use SLIP?

Thanks
-Dan
