TCP/IP Communications

[james at umcp-cs.UUCP]

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.
