Re: [lwip-users] SLIP form windows

[Mark Cullen]

Hello

True slip does not need to do any negotiation but direct cable connection
does.

If you Windows box is initiating the connection it will send the word CLIENT
to the lwip box, it will expect the lwip box to reply with CLIENTSERVER (no
space between them). When it gets that it will connect and start pumping out
slip packets.

If you set a fixed IP address for the connection in the windows box that
should be all you need to do.

Hope that helps
