Description:

!TCPIP (KA9Q) is a TCP/IP protocol and applications package for Amateur
Radio and network use via SLIP, CSLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol).

It provides access to file transfers, news, email (via SMTP and POP3),
telnet connections and external applications may be used to provide
access to Gopher and the World Wide Web.

Connection to a TCP/IP network is via a serial connection using SLIP or
CSLIP protocols. All types of serial cards are supported though the use
of Hugo's block drivers (see below).

From version 2.03 it includes support for Ethernet, though this is
untested through not having access to Ethernet.

Note: !TCPIP only provides that transport for email and news. In order
to actually read and create email and news, you need a news reader. For
this, I personally use !Newsbase and !TTFN. You will probably also need
some software to control your modem and make a dialup connection to your
internet provider. !SlipDial does this.
