Hi,

	SLIPCommander 2.0 is now on both sonata.cc.purdue.edu and  
cs.orst.edu archive sites. Enclosed are extracted from the README file:

============================
Welcome to SLIPCommander2.0!


		SLIPCommander.app  is a NeXTStep Interface to the SLIP  
commands provided in the TransSys DialUpIP  SLIP package by Louis A.  
Mamakos.   Installation of  the latest SLIP_v1.pkg version 920904 is  
highly recommended. 

	SLIPCommander simplifies the SLIP connection/disconnection process  
as well as retrieving mails from remote sites.  A set of very informative  
panel buttons are used to provide a NeXTStep looks & feels Interface. If  
you use SLIP connection a lot, you will find SLIPCommander a very sexy  
companion along with your NeXT.
