> Subject: slipup - variation of Larry Wall's work
> 
> I don't know if anyone else is using a BSDI converted version of Larry
> Wall's slipup.  Just in case here is an update on one that I sent as a
> shar file a while back.  It's just a front end to do slip dialup with
> nice features like logging to /var/log/messages.
> 
> There are a few minor improvements.  It works at 38400.  Some
> intermittent hangs were eliminated by getting hardware flow right (I
> used a USR Courier V.32 modem).  Sound is shut off so you don't have
> to listen to dialed digites, etc.  There is a sliplog.perl program
> that goes through your /var/log/messages file and tells you what days
> and times you had slip up (nice when you have to report what hour you
> put in at home for whatever reason).  Nice features inherited from
> Larry Wall's original perl program include hanging up a line that has
> been idle for 5 minutes.
> 
> Sorry - no man page - not even a README file.  Typical incantation is
> "/usr/sbin/slipup -h <host>".  Take slipup.hosts.sample and customize
> it's one line entry, then put it in /etc/slipup.hosts.
