Fax modems are installed with the PrintManager application. But the
ZyXEL is not supported by the standard NeXT distribution and NXFax
allows using the modem as a data and fax modem simultaneously.

You set SLIP0DEFAULT to YES (or something like that. Then everything
which is not local to your system is routed over your SLIP. The other
end must then propagate this routing information (how to do this
depends on the other side).

You create '/etc/resolv.conf' with the following contents:

domain		bbn.com
nameserver	128.89.2.34
nameserver	128.89.1.199

This tells the resolver that you are in domain bbn.com (then you can
use the short host names) and that the primary name server is
spooler1.bbn.com and the secondary (backup) is spooler2.bbn.com.
