networking, product The Internet Adapter (TIA). A program
account is not quite the same as a real SLIP account but TIA's
SLIP emulation is completely standard in terms of working with
real SLIP account, instead, TIA uses the IP number of the
machine it runs on and "redirects" traffic back to you. You
cannot set up your machine as an
FTP server, for instance,
since there's no IP number for an
FTP client elsewhere to
connect to.
TIA's performance is reportedly good, faster than normal SLIP
releases will support
CSLIP and even
PPP.
Unix and more are on the way.
TERM is a free program which performs a similar function
between two machines both running
Unix.
