********************************************* ATTENTION AMIGA USERS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY ********************************************* Sorry about addressing such a specific crowd here, but I want to make sure everyone from Cornell might see this. If you're not from Cornell, you may very well be able to find my info useful if you've been trying to use AmigaNOS with a dialup SLIP connection. If you know about CIT's new SLIP server, you know you can get access to the internet (telnet, FTP) and other campus-specific services from your room over the modem. Right now, CIT only supports MACs, will the move to IBM's, but won't acknowledge the existence of Amigas. Well, we're here, and now we work! Thanks to lots of people on the net, I've picked up various tidbits of info on using AmigaNOS for SLIP, and along with some tinkering and tweaking I've gotten NOS to work on the Annex SLIP server here at Cornell, so you can telnet and FTP directly to your computer over the modem. As well, one should be able to access the various other campus-specific services (just the facts, etc.) though I have yet to try them. If you have an Amiga and are interested in both utilizing the SLIP system and showing CIT we DO count and are CAPABLE, email me and I'll explain how I've done it. For those of you from other places, I know some of you have been posting with questions about configuring NOS, I'll tell you what I've done, and we can see if it'll work with your systems. I hope I'm not coming across as too arrogant here, I don't mean to be like "I'm God, I can use SLIP. Come serve me little lambs," I'm just excited that after a couple of frustrating weeks I've got this little bugger of a system happily communicating. --Aaron
