As far as I know, there are *several* PD Windows SLIP packages.
Yes. there are. I am motivated from the other end. I can get the client code I need, I can't get "widespead use" at the server end. For example, GMU, which nominally provides Internet access to all of its students, refuses to support SLIP or PPP on any of its servers. No reason, just policy. I gave up on GMU's services and pay Netcom to give me access. They charge $2.00 per hour for SLIP/PPP, but all the async access I want is flat rate. Until the politics and economics change, I believe widespread use will require a non-IP approach. Sure IP would be better, so would ISDN. But Eudora and NUpop work fine, over straight async. they just miss the encryption hook. I have no interest in debating the value of IP. I am looking for help in building a non-IP client that can enable encrypted mail to the great mass of computer owners who are clueless about technology.
