Yes! Are there any all-in-one packages for a system that wants to put a modem on a com port for dial-in login and/or slip and dial-out slip (or for that matter, ppp)? I know I can piece something together with getty, sliplogin, etc. but it's a real pain. I haven't figured out how to use sliplogin yet but I will soon. The problem will be dialing out to another system for slip! I've heard of a program called "dp" that will run as a demon and sense if I'm doing a ftp or telnet and will manage my modem for automatic dialout to a host slip site. Does anyone know where I can ftp this program? Or at least a clue as to the file name so I can do an archie to find it?
