But I haven't yet found a Windows PC client that will work without TCP/IP. Maybe I haven't looked hard enuff. Since 85% of all computers are shipped with Windows, "widespread use" means Windows (or Windoze for the cynics).
There's a UUCP gateway for at least for Pegasus. Probably others as well.
I also don't know why the network vendors charge so much more for SLIP and/or PPP, but until IP is as cheap as async, there is a need for lower technology solutions.
As far as I know, there are *several* PD Windows SLIP packages. Julf
