- RHSLIP & RHCSLIP SANA-II device drivers
- ---------------------------------------
-
- [This document is based on the original by Commodore]
-
- NOTE: The rhslip and rhcslip drivers work exactly the same way (from the
- configuration point-of-view). All you have to do is substitute the word
- "rhslip" for "rhcslip" in this file (and in your applications) to make it
- all work :)
-
- The drivers are placed in DEVS:Networks by the Install_AmiTCP installation
- script. The Install_AmiTCP also asks for the configuration information
- needed for the drivers and generates command for the configuration file
- generation into the "startnet". The Install_AmiTCP can only make
- configuration file for the unit 0.
-
- If you plan to use multiple units, you must create the other configuration
- files yourself. The file's are named cslip[unit number].config. So,
- RHCSLIP unit 5 would have a configuration file named cslip5.config. (RHSLIP
- unit 5 would have slip5.config). Currently, there is a limitation of eight
- RHCSLIP units, 0-7. The configuration files should be placed in
- ENV:Sana2/.
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- If you are using the rhcslip.device to connect to a dedicated line, you
- should leave out the 'CD' option in the configuration file. You should set
- the baud rate to that used by the other end of the line. Also, the MTU
- (Maximum Transfer Unit) must match the setting on the other end of the slip
- line. The default value is 1006 bytes.
-
- If you are using the rhcslip.device to connect to a dial-up slip
- connection, you will need to configure your modem to ignore the DTR signal
- from your Amiga. Next, you will need to use a terminal program to dial the
- cslip line. Once you have connected, quit the terminal program. Then,
- start AmiTCP with the "startnet" script created by the Install_AmiTCP.
