It comes up from time to time, and recently somebody posted that he's got a `dip' (dialup IP) program for BSD ready. I've fetched the files from the rather limited ftp server of a small German university and David has put them up into freefall's incoming directory (anon ftp). It would be nice if people who are interested could give it a try, and it would be even nicer :) if they could make this a FreeBSD `port' (even though we certainly cannot rely on the Uni Clausthal ftp server -- they allow for 5 German and 3 abroad ftp connections during the business hours :-(( ). Here's a copy of the original announcement: > From: Joachim Bartz <injb@verleihnix.rz.tu-clausthal.de> > Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce > Subject: Ann: dip -dialup IP handler for bsd > Supersedes: <199505090036.CAA00872@verleihnix.rz.tu-clausthal.de> > Followup-To: poster > Date: 8 May 1995 18:09:06 -0700 > Organization: University of California, Berkeley > Lines: 30 > Sender: cgd@agate.berkeley.edu > Approved: netbsd-announce-request@agate.berkeley.edu > Message-ID: <199505090045.CAA00930@verleihnix.rz.tu-clausthal.de> > NNTP-Posting-Host: agate.berkeley.edu > Mime-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > To: netbsd-announce@agate.berkeley.edu > X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] > Content-Length: 996 > > > DIP is mainly a tool to establish a SLIP connection.
