- What is the difference between these two? I've been using SLIP8250 and
- it seems to work OK with some apps (such as CUTCP, and NUPOP) but not
- others (FTP Software's PC/TCP can't load the ETHDRV kernel, anything based
- on WATTCP pukes, and TRUMPET can connect and read news but seems unable
- to post). The WATTCP docs mention something called ETHERSLIP, and an ftp
- site is listed, but I looked there and the specified path does not exist.
- What is ETHERSL and/or ETHERSLIP? Will it work better than SLIP8250?
