 DIPC was developed on a system consisting of two machines.

1.1) Machine one had:
 Processor: Am486DX4/100
 Motherboard: SiS PCI / Award BIOS
 RAM: 16MB
 HD: 850MB Conner
 IP Address: 191.72.3.0
 This computer was the Referee

1.2) Machine two had:
 Processor: Am486DX2/80
 Motherboard: SiS PCI / Award BIOS
 RAM: 8MB
 HD: 1GB Conner
 IP Address: 191.72.2.0

 The machines where not connected to the Internet, and the IP addresses were
assigned arbitrarily.

1.3) They were connected by a null modem serial cable, using SLIP. The
following lines appeared in a dip file on machine one:

echo on
port cua1
get $locip 191.72.3.0
get $rmtip 191.72.2.0
default
mode SLIP

1.4) Port to Linux/m68k and development of architecture-independent data 
transport methods:

 Machine 1: i486DX/33, ISA, 8 MB RAM, 850 MB IDE HD
	    Kernel version 1.2.12; gcc 2.6.3 (i386), gcc 2.7.2 (m68k)
	    Slackware
 
 Machine 2: Atari Falcon030 (CPU accel. 32 MHz), 14 MB RAM, 700 MB SCSI HD
	    Kernel versions 1.2.13pl10, 2.0.25+29, 2.1.13-26; gcc 2.7.2.1
	    'watchtower-2' filesystem or Debian/68k 1.2 installation

 Network connection was implemented using static SLIP over a null modem cable.
