Definitely would like to give that a try. Thanks for the offer.

Trying to attach to a PC, running Windows / Vista primarily, but have also got another network with a VAXstation (running VMS 7.3), an Indigo2 (IRIX 6.5.9), an Ultra 60 (Solaris 10u6), an IBM 43P-140 (AIX5.1), a Sparc 5 (NeXTSTEP 3.3) and a Alpha Personal Workstation again running VMS7.3. All support SLIP afaik...?

The networking's pretty much sorted out between them. Just need to get the Mac on the switch.

Have also got an old beige G3 (OS8 or 9 I think) or a Quadra (also running A/UX 3) which I thought I may be able to use as a bridge.

Not going to be good except for the most basic X program

Mainly transferring tar.gz files which don't seem to survive PC resource fork flattening...

What have resource forks got to do with tar.gz files?

I use binhex as my cross platform format for fat Mac files.

. As I recall, the SLIP system in A/UX is CLI based...? Any ideas as to it's config...?

First what are you going to have it talk to? Most Linux and NetBSD distributions seem to be dropping support for slip.

For my own purposes I wrote a program that connects SLIP to PPP, you are welcome to try it out, it depends how keen you are.
