 Correction - the official standard is PPP.  Once I used PPP, and I do
 mean ONCE, I never used SLIP again.  PPP is faster, more reliable, and
 easier to connect with.

 Linux won't run your Atari software.  And for those who don't have a
 Falcon, I should mention that Linux does require a PMMU, so you'll
 need a Falcon or TT.  The Unix version of Netscape requires 16MB of
 RAM.  I suppose it should work alright in the Falcon's 14MB, but
 configuring Linux and X-Windows is gonna be alot harder than using
 MiNT.  And 68K Linux is not as stable as MiNT right now, and MiNT-NET
 if much better than the Linux networking.
