But the package wasn't removed from you rmachine, I hope.
You can still use the package in slink.

 I've been using dip for many years now and haven't
 had to touch it in years. Perhaps something replaced it in those years
 and I didn't notice it?
 
 Anyone else use dip, or is anyone else still stuck using SLIP and
 doing so without dip? If so I'd like to hear about your solution.

You can still use slattach in netbase.

Hi Gary, 

I just read the latest news (debian.org) on potato. Seems that whoever takes
care of DIP hasn't be responding to the bug horizon request and was dropped
from the project/package.  I need DIP too for other reasons, so I hope that
the person can be found!

Good luck

Thanks for the link Jaye.

It's too bad that it's orphaned but I imagine the number of people
still using it is pretty small. Just have to install it myself, from
source, and put it in my /usr/local hierarchy I suppose, if I can.

Thanks again for the explanation.

Gary
