Smartypants :-) Do you know of any documentation for setting up a slip connection, under NetBSD 0.9? I've got a lame DOS box thats just a 286 and floppy (and the obvious other hardware like keyboards) - so I'm thinking of setting it up with some DOS sl/ip type software and slipping onto my real PC with NetBSD, as an exercise and learning tool for learning networking and slip. But I have no idea where to start. I've been working over the man pages for a few hours, and setting things up - but its still a hfty job for soemone whose never touched it before. Any ideas on docs? I know which files to edit, and a rough idea of what needs to be done. I just need to know the slip specifics.. each implementation is different. And does the implementation give out dynamic addresses, or take them i, or not at all? And that sort of thing.
