Internet Slip Starter Kit now available !!
Jean van Eeden
Hi All
I have put together an Internet Slip Starter Kit to help folks
get their Slip connections going with Windows 3.1. All the programs
are 'tried and tested' by myself and works well for me. The Kit
includes telnet, mail, news, ftp, archie and winsock. (Everything
to get a new slipper going.) It is avalable at aztec.co.za in
the /pub/win3/Slip_Staarter_Kit directory. All the software is
Public Domain or Shareware.
As this is the first release, let me know if you have problems.
Write me email if you are using the Kit - so that I can have an
idea of how many people is using it.
Regards

Good for you! This is the type of public service that gives the net a good
name! Everyone needs good tools, newbies most of all. If the package gets them
up and running, well and quickly, then I nominate this as "the best idea I
have seen lately".
Keep up the good work!
And how about someone on this side of the planet setting up a similar service?

I've put together a package for our Windows SLIP users here at U.T.
which is not really too U.T. specific. It includes Trumpet Winsock,
WS_FTP, Mosaic, HGopher, qws3270, QVTNet, and PC Eudora. A
Windows-based Setup program prompts the user for the COM port and
email address, then installs the software to the specified directory,
performs some basic configuration on the .INI files, and adds the
directory to the path. An included README goes over basic
configuration and startup details.
You can get the package, called "UT SLIP for Windows", from microlib.
cc.utexas.edu (aka ftp.cc.utexas.edu) in /microlib/win/tcpip/UT_SLIP.
(Get all the files in that directory). Also available via gopher.
Please note we've discovered a bug in the setup program that causes
problems if you have an existing "autoexec.old" file on your hard disk,
so please delete it if you have it. Also, the default login script
uses BOOTP to configure Winsock, but doesn't work on some PC+modem
combinations. An alternate login.cmd that doesn't use BOOTP is in
/microlib/win/tcpip on ftp.cc.utexas.edu.
DISCLAIMER: This package was produced for University of Texas at Austin
users only, and no support for other users will be provided. Some of the
applications included (Trumpet Winsock, QVTnet) are shareware and may
need to be registered. Availability to other sites is strictly unofficial,
and will be flatly denied :-)
