The purpose of this presentation was to show how CAD tools can be used through the Internet, and the SPICE Internet package (SIP) is just an example of using SPICE. Several features make the SIP a desirable program for computer-aided engineering and design. Only one copy of the SPICE engine needs to be installed and configured. One machine acts as the server and other machines can simultaneously access the SPICE engine through network connections. Remote access to SIP allows users to run SPICE simulations from any computer on the network, whether it be from home or another office in another building or town. Also the current SPICE engine used is SPICE3f5 from Berkeley, which allows an unlimited number of transistors
