Re: Obsolete documentation?

ELKS does NOT have a special version of SLIP. Therefore you can communicate=

with any Linux host provided you manage to configure this. I would recommen=
d=20
to follow my instructions first to get an understanding how to set this up.=
=20
Then make a serial cross over connection cable and test that using two=20
terminal programs on each side. Getting the wires linked correctly and=20
providing the hardware signals is not trivial for someone who has not done =

that before. If you can send across what you type you can start configuring=

SLIP over this line.

Hi Georg,

Will it connect to SLIP/CSLIP interface as implemented in normal Linux
kernel (CONFIG_SLIP)?

Thanksm
