Cushard) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Help with SLIP Date: 9 Feb 1994 21:04:16 GMT Organization: University of Michigan Lines: 16 Message-ID: <2jbj4g$g13@lastactionhero.rs.itd.umich.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: menander.ccs.itd.umich.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] I am interested in setting up a SLIP connection using NetBSD 0.9 to my local dialin. Getting the dialin set up for SLIP is easy, I tell it to start a SLIP connection, after connecting via com0, then it (the dialin) sends me a message gicing me my IP. From there I know I need to use the slattach command somehow to get it set up. With all of this in mind, and the fact that I am completely clueless as to how to actually set up this link, HELP. :) I have read all the man files I think are appropriate, and am still clueless as to how to actually set the link up. Like hosts, gateways, remote address servers, hostname.* files, etc. Not a clue what I need to do. If there is a documentation file on this process somewhere that I don't know about, please direct me to where I can get it via FTP. :) If there isn't, I would greatly appreciate any help via e-mail that anyone would like to offer. Also, I would rather use a PPP connection (I do so in DOS via ka9q), but it seemed easier to start with SLIP since it is built in to NetBSD. Any information on PPP for NetBSD owuld be welcome too.
