- SLIP & CSLIP SANA-II device drivers
- -----------------------------------
-
- Note:
-
- The slip and cslip drivers work exactly the same way. All you have to do
- is substitute the word "slip" for "cslip" in this file (and in your
- applications) to make it all work :)
-
- ----
-
- Place the file named 'cslip.device' in DEVS:Networks. Next, copy the
- cslip0.config file to ENVARC:Sana2/cslip0.config. If you are planning on
- using multiple CSLIP units, you will need a separate configuration file for
- each unit. The file's are named cslip[unit number].config. So, CSLIP unit
- 5 would have a configuration file named cslip5.config. Currently, there is
- a limitation of eight CSLIP units, 0-7. Please see the included
- cslip0.config file for an explanation of how the file should be set up.
-
- If you are using the cslip.device with AS225, you will need to add a new
- entry to your inet:s/sana2_devs file. IP Type and ARP type may be set
- to anything you wish. (Footnote 1)
-
- If you are using the cslip.device with Envoy, you will need to use the
- NIPC Configuration Editor to add cslip.device to nipc's list of devices.
- Select 'Use defaults' for IP Type and ARP Type.
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- If you are using the cslip.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.
-
- If you are using the cslip.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, use
- the 'online' CLI command to tell the cslip.device to attach itself to the
- serial port. The command line should look something like:
-
- 1.> online cslip.device 0
-
- Where 0 is the cslip.device unit number. Unfortunately there isn't an
- easy way to get cslip.device to hang up the phone. The easiest way is
- to just turn your modem off, which should cause carrier to drop and cause
- cslip.device to go offline.
-
- You may also tell cslip.device to go offline by using the 'offline' command.
- (Both online and offline use ReadArgs(), so specifiying a '?' argument
- will give you their usage strings.)
-
- Advanced Usage
- --------------
-
- For those of you who would like to use the cslip.device as a server for
- a dialup line, you'll have to wait a bit until I fix up my "phoned" program.
- It's not currently in a usable state.
-
-
- Version 37.3 Release Notes for both drivers
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Both cslip.device and slip.device put up an EasyRequest() if something
- goes wrong at OpenDevice() time with either the config file or if the
- serial.device you wanted to use couldn't be opened.
-
- The slip driver now supports all of the options available with the
- cslip driver. Somehow the last release of slip.device had the wrong
- version of slip.device. Sorry about that.
-
- Both drivers support comments in the config files. :)
-
-
-
- Footnote 1:
-
- Actually, if you want to use the packet tracking functions of SANA-II with
- cslip.device, you will have to specify a packet type of 2048 to track
- IP packets, which also happen to be the only types of packets cslip deals
- with.
