========================================================================== SLIP_* Package put together by John Mudge FidoNet: 1:352/111 SurvNet: 9:91/0 ========================================================================== Overview: This is a combination of several programs available through other sources, with some of the programs being shareware. Please read the doc files and register as appropriate. PHONE and UMSLIP are from the University of Minnesota. The other programs are from various sources as indicated in their DOC files. This package contains everything you need to set up a SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol) connection to Internet. SLIP varies from an Internet Shell Account in that the connection is made automatically and you are issued a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) address for the duration of your call. This is done through a handshake procedure known as BOOTP, which passes certain information between your system and your host. Installation: Make a directory on your C: drive called SLIP: CD \ MD SLIP Make a subdirectory under \SLIP: CD \SLIP MD MAIL Copy all programs from wherever they are to the SLIP directory: CD \SLIP XCOPY C:\wherever *.* Add two lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET TZ=PST8PDT (or whatever is appropriate for your timezone.) C:\SLIP\UMSLIP.COM 0x60 2048 Reboot your machine. Run PHONE SETUP CD \SLIP PHONE SETUP Press ALT-S and set up your modem and slip info. You will need to contact your Internet provider to get some of the info. See further instructions below for exact setup details. *********** Modify the script PHONE.CMD for your modem and the custom login portion. *********** Running the included batch file will automatically call your provider at the number set up in PHONE and use the login script PHONE.CMD. After the connection is complete, you will be placed in the application that is included with this archive. All uploading and downloading will be done from or to your machine rather than your host machine! ========================================================================== INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make a suitable directory to hold the files, e.g. C:\SLIP, and copy this archive into it. Unzip the archive (using PKWare's PKUNZIP.EXE V2.04g or a similar program). CONFIGURATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Run SLIP SETUP. You will see the following screen: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � � Actions Setup 13:38:27 � 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 냥袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴 Transaction Log 袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴[]敲� 낳 � 낳 Press function key: 껙 낳 껙 낳 F4 to setup modem 껙 낳 F5 to setup SLIP 껙 낳 껙 낳 F6 to quit 껙 낳 껙 낳 껙 낳 � 냠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴켸� � F1 Help � This window displays what is happening during a login. � 읕컴컴컴컴좔컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Press F4 and this screen will appear: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Edit 13:39:24 � 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 낡같같같같걸�[�]袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� Modem Settings 袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴뺐같같같같개 낡같같같같갰 별같같같같개 낡같같같같갰 Baud rate COM Ports Modem 별같같같같개 낡같같같같갰 ( ) 1200 () COM1 ADI  별같같같같개 낡같같같같갰 ( ) 2400 ( ) COM2 COMSTATION3 � 별같같같같개 낡같같같같갰 ( ) 4800 ( ) COM3 GENERIC � 별같같같같개 냥袴袴袴袴故 ( ) 9600 ( ) COM4 HAYES � 뵨袴袴[]敲� 낳 � ( ) 14400 ( ) COM5 HAYES-1200 � � � 낳 Press fu� ( ) 19200 ( ) COM6 HAYES-OPTIMA � � 껙 낳 � ( ) 38400 ( ) COM7 MULTIMODEM-V32 � � 껙 낳 F4 � () 57600 ( ) COM8 POWERUSER-V1  � 껙 낳 F5 � � 껙 낳 � 컴컴컴컴 Advanced 컴컴컴컴 � 껙 낳 F6 � Parity Stop Bits Dialing � 껙 낳 � () None () One (1) ( ) Pulse OK � � 껙 낳 � ( ) Odd ( ) Two (2) () Tone 賽賽賽賽 � 껙 낳 � ( ) Even Handshaking Cancel � � 껙 낳 � ( ) Mark [X] CTS Init str 賽賽賽賽 � 껙 낳 � ( ) Space [X] RTS any other commands � 껙 낳 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � 냠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴켸� � F1 Help � Enter any modem setup commands you wish to add. � 읕컴컴컴컴좔컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Parity, Stop Bits, Handshaking and Dialing can be left as they are. If you have successfully connected using some other package, you should be able to find the appropriate settings for Baud rate, COM Ports, Modem and Init str from your existing setup. If not, or you aren't sure, do the following: Baud rate: If you have a 14400 or faster modem and a buffered UART (16550), select 57600. If you aren't sure whether you have a 16550, try 38400 first. Then try 57600. If things go faster, keep that setting; if they go slower or more jerkily, go back to 38400. If you are running with a locked serial port, set this option to the locked rate. COM Ports: Select the COM port that your modem is attached or set to. Modem: Scroll through the list and select the most appropriate modem. If your modem isn't listed, and you know what your initialisation string should be, select 'GENERIC' and enter the string, without the preceeding 'AT', in the Init str box, e.g. you know that your modem works well with just 'ATZ', so you just type Z in the Init str box. If you aren't sure what your init string should be, try 'GENERIC' and Z or 'HAYES-OPTIMA'. Select OK and you will be returned to the start-up screen. Press F5 and the following screen will be presented to you: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Edit 13:40:52 � 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 낡같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� 냥袴袴袴袴��[�]袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� SLIP setup 袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴뽕袴�[]敲� 낳 � � � 낳 Press f� User Name jmudge � 껙 낳 � Password  � 껙 낳 F4 � Phone Number 923-4082 � 껙 낳 F5 � � 껙 낳 � OK � Cancel � � 껙 낳 F6 � 賽賽賽賽 賽賽賽賽 � 껙 낳 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� 껙 낳 껙 낳 껙 낳 � 냠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴켸� � F1 Help � Enter your full user name.
