Description:

SlipDriver implements a hardware driver conforming to version four of the
Acorn DCI specification for hardware drivers and provides hardware interfaces
which talk the SLIP protocol over serial lines.

The driver supports an unlimited number of interfaces, each of which
is attached to a specified serial line. The serial lines are driven
using the blockdrivers, thus providing support for various dual serial
cards as well as the internal serial port.
