SLiRP

Macintosh Setup Instructions

Macs require the MacTCP control panel in addition to SLIP software (most often a control panel too). Set MacTCP to "obtain IP address dynamically from the server."

Versaterm on a Macintosh

Submitted by weave

Versaterm has included SLIP support for the past few years. It also allows interactive login and shell before running SLIP. A great time saver. However, the included telnet program with VersaTerm had serious problems with SLiRP. On large amounts of screen output, it would hang midway through the last block of data until you type a key or sent any other kind of data down the virtual SLIP line. Instead, I decided to use Del-Tech's modified (for SRS system) NCSA telnet program. It works great!

  1. Make sure MacTCP is setup and configured OK.
  2. Open the "VersaTERM AdminSLIP" control panel icon
  3. If this is your first time:
    1. Choose "New Server" from File Menu
    2. Set terminal parameters as you would for a normal telecom program
    3. Enter IP addresses as specified above
    4. Make sure "Terminal after Connection" box is checked.
    5. Click OK
  4. Click "Connect" button
  5. Modem will dial. When connected, press RETURN
  6. At the dtcc net% prompt enter: stty local ^\
  7. At the dtcc net% prompt enter: c hopi
  8. Login as normal.
  9. At the $ prompt press CTRL ^\
  10. At the dtcc net% prompt enter: dli set session passall
  11. At the dtcc net% prompt enter: fg
  12. At the $ prompt enter: exec slirp
  13. Press the Connect button in the dumb terminal window
  14. You should be ready to go!
