Lines: 11 We ran IP over a 4800 baud phone line once, using an 'asy' protocol which I believe was supplied by BBN with their sys.[8-10] network kernel for 4.1bsd. It is slow, but gets the job done. I won't bother posting the sources, but I'll mail them where requested. This asy protocol for rs232 serial lines is completely guaranteed to NOT work without major hacking on 4.2 systems, and on systems not using BBN's network code. A better idea would be asking Berkeley if they have anything similar to this, and to check your distribution for any network pseudo-devices which are really serial lines. --Jim O'Toole
