Description:

The current Archimedes SLIP software, !TCPIP, does not come with a dialler
of it's own.  A comms program like Hearsay could be used but SLIPdial provides
a better solution as it is small and allows for non-interactive use.  It can
also be used to generate !TCPIP configuration files for SLIP servers that
assign IP addresses dynamically.  SLIPdial uses the block driver version of
!TCPIP; you will need the !SerialDev application to provide the drivers.
