I have done it from my house using the following combination: Merit's PPP packet driver, NCSA Telnet config. file set up to use the PPP driver, and Bud, the simple DOS user agent we developed here at U-M that uses NCSA TCP/IP code. I am sure it can be done over slip also. It worked OK at 2400bps from my 486 PC, although faster would be much better I am sure. The Merit ppp packet driver is available on merit.edu in /pub/ppp. I think the file ppp.exe is a self-extracting archive. Bud is on terminator.cc.umich.edu in /x500/bud.exe. The DIXIE client library is what Bud uses, and we plan to port LDAP to the PC also, for those who want to build their own UA. -Mark Smith University of Michigan Information Technology Division Unix Group mcs@umich.edu
