I have some techical questions for you:
1) Please give me more informations about the SLIP connection method.
2) Suppose I have a personal computer (such as a Macintosh or a PC running
MS-DOS) named client.dummy.xx and connected via network card to a server
running FreeBSD named server.dummy.xx.
If I run locally on the client an application that uses Internet (such as
Fetch or Mosaic), the server receives as caller name: client.dummy.xx or
server.dummy.xx?
If someone sends mail or make FTP to client.dummy.xx when it is connected
to a remote node what happens? Note that client.dummy.xx is not always
connected to the server, it is only a temporary Internet address.
3) Can a personal computer (such as a Macintosh or a PC running Windows)
connected to the server VIA MODEM using COMMUTATE (not dedicated) lines run
locally a program that uses Internet (such as Fetch or Mosaic)?
Thank you.
