Hello, I recently installed SLIP from Louis Mamakos (the latest version from sonata/incoming) and tried to run it on my new NeXTstation (OS 3.0). When I rebooted, everything looked fine, but then, when the loginwindow tried to come up, I got the message that it could not find a port for the window server and it never came up! The only way out was to reboot from a floppy and remove the entry from rc.local which had pointed to the SLIP initialization routines. Of course, I don't have SLIP this way :-( Did anyone else try to run SLIP (rel. date 920904) on a NeXt with 3.0 OS? Did it work for you? Are there any tricks to make it work? Is it all my fault? Any help and any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated!!
