I've just completed a port of a lump of software found at ftp.demon.co.uk:pub/slip/csn-slip-package.tar.Z It allows me to set up a login script, and an entry in /etc/remote, type slip gate (as uid 0) and _WOW_ ... I have a slip connection that hangs around until it gets a signal and then drops the line. Now here's a question for you (if you're interested - and you seem to be). You must bear in mind that I'm a complete virgin in this game..... How do I update the above source ? Do I mail the author ? Do I send to a special place on ftp.demon.co.uk ? Do I mail postmaster@gate.demon.co.uk ? Do I pass it around to interested people via uuencoded mail ? Do I dump it in this newsgroup for everyone to pick up ? - I have to get an answer now ! What's the general procedure ? -- Brian Somers
