Lucca-Daniau" , ELKS ELKS does NOT have a special version of SLIP. Therefore you can communicate= =20 with any Linux host provided you manage to configure this. I would recommen= d=20 to follow my instructions first to get an understanding how to set this up.= =20 Then make a serial cross over connection cable and test that using two=20 terminal programs on each side. Getting the wires linked correctly and=20 providing the hardware signals is not trivial for someone who has not done = that before. If you can send across what you type you can start configuring= =20 SLIP over this line.
