[rescue] Configuring SLIP, both (Unix) server and client ends (Dell Sys V rel 4 Unix)

Thanks for everyone's comments so far on this.  Regarding SLIP, I didn't realize that is was so OS specific.

Someone mentioned the CSLIP source code.  I did find that, plus

slip_beta 0.3
SLIP 3.x
SLIP 4.x

There was at least one mention of using zmodem (sz/rz) to move data back and forth to the VM.  I may do that.

Initially, I had SLIP blinders on as the Dell Unix VM came with SLIP.

Wondering out loud here, say that I'm able to use zmodem to move, then successfully compile PPP code.

If I could do that, and get PPP working, it would go a long ways to providing seamless network connectivity.

In a similar light, I'm a very big fan of Seth 3b2 emulator work, and I have had hours of fun playing with it.  That said, some type 
of network connectivity goes a long ways to taking the fun to the next level.

Again, thanks for all the comments.

Jerry
