The problem > will be dialing out to another system for slip! I've heard of a program called The dialing out is not the real problem, just take kermit set your modem to ignore the DTR signal and dial out and log in to your host with the sliplogin account. Do a ifconfig and a slattach and your SLIP link is running. The problem is the hanging up of the phone line when your job is done! dp and ppp seem to be able to disconnect on a idle time! Now you have to use the idle time of the modem you call in to, then your phone line is hung up allright but on the calling side your modem ignores everything so you still have to kill slattach down the interface with ipconfig and last but not least reset the modem so it's back to normal and finally you have to bring up your getty again! > "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?

On my backbone sun4nl.nl it's called dp.2.0.tar.Z and is in the directory pub/network/ppp but it's streams based and I dont know if it's easy to port! -- Roland van Hout, software engineer at Foxim Software, Capelle a/d IJssel, Netherlands, tel: 010-4588211, fax: 010-4518690, Internet: rvh@foxim.nl ARPA: ...!uunet!mcsun!sun4nl!foxim!rvh
