Lines: 34 In reply to my message about SLIP for the Sequent Symmetry, I received this message from the author of a Balance port: Date: Sat, 24 Sep 88 10:43:39 pdt From: Phil KlimbalTo: gregg@quintus.com Subject: Sequent SLIP Status: RO I did a SLIP driver for 3.0.4 a while back it is ftp'able from icarus.riacs.edu as pub/slip/sl.tar.Z. --Phil Klimbal RIACS I ftp'd the above and compiled it on my Symmetry with no problems. Unfortunately when ever the Sequent would receive a packet the machine would panic. It was able to send packets with no problems. After many hours of hacking and examining with crash, I came up with a patch to if_sl.c which is merely a one liner. Diff of if_sl.c.orig vs. if_sl.c: 375a376 > sc->sc_mbuf = m; I have had some problems with the yellow pages talking to the slip interface instead of my ethernet. Does anyone know how to force the yellow pages and the portmapper to use the ethernet interface only? Gregg Stefancik sun!quintus!gregg gregg%quintus.com@sun.com
