Your comments below would seem to validate this supposition: > where is this kernel config file ????????? > is it something that comes with the sources ??? > i only got the binary distribution. You'll need to get the sources and create a custom kernel config file for your system (in /sys/i386/conf for FreeBSD). Put this line at the end of your config file: pseudo-device sl 2 Then recompile the kernel. When you boot from that new kernel, SLIP should work. - mark -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, newton@cleese.apana.org.au but it hurt when I walked.
