I would like to implement SLIP on a Sequent S27 running Dynix.
Dynix is 4.2bsd with many 4.3bsd enhancements. (yes, Dynix is much more)

Sequent Support told me that kernel support was required and Sequent did not
support SLIP.  I do not have source.

I was told that adding 'options SLIP' might work.  There appears to be an
unsupported SLIP in Sequent's Dynix.  Can anyone refer me to documentation
on SLIP that would assist in using SLIP.  I have "no idea" how to try SLIP out
to see if anything works.
