hello all you TCP/IP wizards in netland, i wonder if you'all could answer
some basic questions about TCP/IP running over RS232?

1) does anyone have TCP/IP running over RS232 under BSD4.[123] or SYS V.[02]?
2) if you have got TCP/IP running over RS232, what hardware are you using?
   what software are you using? were there any *major* problems in getting
   it all to work?
3) does anyone know what differences there are between BSD4.1, BSD4.2 and
   BSD4.3 as far as TCP/IP networking over RS232 is concerned? more to the 
   point, does anyone know if it works under all of these flavours?
4) i heard that it was not possible to configure more than one serial line
   per machine, so things like star networks are out. is this true, has
   anyone out there done it?
5) i also heard that it is not possible to run TCP/IP and users on the same
   RS232 card. is it true that the device that you use to support TCP/IP
   over RS232 has to be used for this purpose exclusively?
6) has anyone in the UK tried it, or got it working?
7) are there any useful documents on how to do it, or any useful references?

answers/pointers on any/all of these questions (preferably by email) would
be greatly appreciated.
