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.


What's in the SLIPCommander?
============================

*	Toggle SLIP with connection/disconnection button.

*	NeXTMails are always just a 'click' away.

*	Auto-redial within time-out upon a busy phone line .

*	Monitoring your SLIP connection status.


Version 2.0 Improvements
========================

*	Yes, SLIPCommander is now 3.0 color and Help ready.

*	SLIPCommander is more stable and  responsive than ever due to a  
new fine-tuned mechanism of message passing.

*	A much easier way to customize your personal preference. The root  
password is no longer needed. A configurable path for finding SLIP  
commands.

*	New-Mails notification. (you no longer need to watch the logwindow  
closely for mail arrival.)

*	An improved Commander window  that controls and displays SLIP  
activities with a set of colorful icon buttons.
