               SLIP2PPP: MS-DOS/PC-DOS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prerequisites: You have already installed CACSLIP dated on/after 10/21.
               Your PC is a 386/486 with at least 2M of RAM and you
               are running HIMEM.SYS in CONFIG.SYS.

Purpose: SLIP2PPP is an update to CACSLIP that will make a PPP (Point to
         Point Protocol rather then Serial Link Internet Protocol)
         connection to the CAC Access Server. This effects a more efficient
         connection for both the PC and CAC Access Server; you are thus
         encouraged to apply this update. No other diffence in CACSLIP
         services or screens will be evident other than slightly better
         performance.

Disadvantages: ETHERPPP, the Merit Network, Inc. copyrighted free driver
               used here, takes 122K of DOS low (prime) memory (versus
               25K of low memory for Peter Tatam's SLIPPER driver). SLIP2PPP
               thus may render PC Gopher III unusable on DOS platforms where
               at least 615K is not available before starting CACSLIP; to
               check this, issue the DOS command: MEM

There are two ways you might have obtained SLIP2PPP; so there are two
companion installation procedures I or II below.


I) You downloaded SLIP2PPP.EXE from the file /pub/access/dos/sli2ppp.exe
   on the CAC FTP server, FTP.CAC.PSU.EDU, to some DOS subdirectory,
   say the root directory file C:\SLIP2PPP.EXE. So issue the DOS commands:

                C:                         {set DOS initial path to fixed disk}
                CD C:\                     {set initial path to root directory}
                MD C:\TTT                  {make a temporary subdirectory}
                SLIP2PPP.EXE C:\TTT\       {unload installation routines to it}
                CD C:\TTT                  {and set initial path to it}
                INSTALL                    {do the install}
   After install is complete, optionally erase unneeded files by issuing:
                ERASE C:\SLIP2PPP.EXE
                ERASE C:\TTT\*.*
                RD C:\TTT

   If you downloaded SLIP2PPP.EXE to a 1.44M diskette instead of C:\,
   then that diskette has only the file SLIP2PPP.EXE on it. In this case
   insert that diskette in drive, say A:, and substitute the command
                A:\SLIP2PPP.EXE C:\TTT\
   in the fourth command above. The rest of the procedure remains the same.

II) You obtained SLIP2PPP on a 1.44M diskette and it contains the file
    INSTALL.BAT, Insert this diskette in drive A: (for example), and
    issue the following DOS commands:
                       A:
                       CD \
                       INSTALL

    For this option to work the diskette in drive A: (in this example) must
    have the files INSTALL.BAT, ASK.COM, ANSWER.COM, CHANGE.COM AND
    SLIP2PPP.ZIP on it.


After installation is complete via one of (I) or (II) above, follow
the instructions displayed to run the CUSTOM command.
