- Hi,
-
- For those of you who's running TransSys DialUpIP SLIP and
- constantly use commands of 'slipup', 'slipdown', [retrieving mails from
- remote sites],etc; SlipCommander.app is a Must-See tiny useful Apps for
- all you SLIPpers. The AUTO-REDIAL makes your life so much easier while
- connecting to a BUSY modem spool. Enclosed is the README of
- SlipCommander0.9.
-
- -Slip Commander -
-
- SlipCommander is a NeXTStep Interface of the SLIP commands
- provided in the TransSys DialUpIP SLIP package by Louis A. Mamakos.
-
- Warning:
- =======
- 1. You must have the TransSys DialUpIP SLIP package installed and
- fully tested for the connection first.
-
- 2. You must be in the 'wheel' group to run SlipCommander. The
- rootpassword is required each time for setting up the preference. The
- information is securely encrypted in the file - "(home)/.SlipCommander"
-
- 3. The Mail Retrieving command script using ftp must be customized
- for your site. Two sample scripts for retrieving mails from 1 & 2 sites
- are provided.
-
- 4. SlipCommander was implemented under NS2.1, if there's a
- conflicts with NS3.0, a patch will be made when I receive my 3.0 upgrade.

-
- Installation Guide:
- ==================
- 1. Place SlipCommander.app under /LocalApps or ~Apps.
-
- 2. Modify the Mail Script and place it under any directory path.
- (be sure to 'chmod +x' of it)

- Features:
- ========
-
-
- -SLIP connect/disconnect - Slip Commander simplifies the frequently-used
- SLIP commands such as 'slipup', 'slipdown', 'duioctl',etc. In the attempt
- of making a connection, Slip Commander can monitor the process; in case
- of a FAILCALL(BUSY), it will automatically redial after a period of time
- until the connection is established.
-
- -Remote mails retrieval - retrieving the mails stored on the remote sites
- is just a button click away.
-
- -SLIP connection monitoring - the connection status are clearly displayed
- in the Inspector. So, next time the LED on your modem goes off, you
- won't be left in the dark.
