I looked into it several months ago, but SlipKnot seems not to be available except as an IBM binary. Oh, the hell with it--I can't keep it a secret any more. I've been working on my own PPP implementation for quite a while now. In fact, one undocumented reason I wrote AmaTerm was to familiarize myself with modem-related code to prepare for The Big Project, PPP. Yesterday, I had my first really major success: my GS was connected to the Internet. It was deaf and dumb, since I haven't yet written any of the network library, but it was connected. As soon as I catch up on the schoolwork I've been putting off to work on PPP, I'll attack the network library. I don't anticipate much trouble from IP or UDP, but TCP is quite nontrivial. -- Sean McAfee | "Mind if I smoke?" mcafee@umich.edu | "No. Mind if I burp pastrami belches in your face?"
