- SLIPPER and CSLIPPER Release 1.5
- --------------------------------
-
- Slipper is a replacement for SLIP8250. It provides a basic functionality
- packet driver using the SLIP protocol. It is written completely from scratch
- using Turbo Pascal and Assembler. Slipper has (hopefully) been designed for
- high baud rate operation with standard non-fifo 8250 chips.
-
- Usage: slipper [com<digit 1-4>] [vec=<hex vector>] [baud=<speed>]
- [ether] [nohwhs] [?]
-
- for Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression, use the alternative form
-
- cslipper ....
-
- options (in any order):
-
- com<digit 1-4> The serial comm ports 1 to 4.
- com1 base=3f8, irq=4 (default)
- com2 base=2f8, irq=3
- com3 base=3e8, irq=4
- com4 base=2e8, irq=3
-
- port=<hex port> override the com port setting (0000-FFFF)
-
- irq=<hex digit> override the com irq setting (0-F)
-
- vec=<hex vector> the packet driver interrupt vector
- default is 60
-
- baud=<speed> baud rate of the connection
- default is the current speed setting.
- max = 115200
-
- ether simulate an ethernet board. (IP and ARP only)
- default is non-ethernet
-
- nohwhs disable hardware handshakes.
-
- keepalive enable a once per minute keep alive byte to
- be transmitted.
-
- ? display the commands.
-
- examples
- slipper
-
- - com1, vector=60H, baud=whatever defined, non-ethernet
-
- slipper com3 vec=63 baud=38400 ether
-
- - com3, vector=63H, baud=38400, ethernet simulation
-
-
- also, you can type
-
- slipper ?
-
- for the commands.

-
-
- Version 1.1 release adds support for 16550 chips. (FIFO trigger level 4 on
- receive)
-
- Version 1.2 fixes some 16550 bugs and includes support for CSLIP. Due to the
- bulkiness of supporting cslip, there are two version of slipper provided. The
- standard version is called SLIPPER, and the CSLIP version is called CSLIPPER.
- The command line parameters are the same for both versions.
-
- Version 1.3 fixes some bugs in the CSLIP part, and does a slight
- tidyup/speedup of some of the code and reduces stack requirements. Also
- added a handle for RARP packet types in the ether simulation.
-
- Version 1.4 fixes a bug dissallowing using a vector pointing to an
- IRET instruction, and also adds an option to disable hardware handshaking.
-
- Version 1.5 fixes some more bugs, noticeably, a bug in CSLIP processing of
- urgent data.
