I do not have source. If you have a spare dusty PC XT or so and can fork out the $$ for a Western Digital ethernet card (or have a PC ethernet card supported by a packet driver -- there are lots, but native support for the WD card will give you better performance) you can do this with the aid of PC route 2.1 or any other router that supports SLIP: +-------------+ ethernet +---------+ RS-232 | sequent +------------+ router +----------> SLIP! +-------------+ +---------+ The PC software is FREE by FTP from accuvax.nwu.edu under pub/pcroute. This way, you will save your sequent from being hammered by the SLIP link too. -- ronald@robobar.co.uk +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
