To make a slip connection to a remote system:
once do:
- edit /etc/hosts
(e.g. 123.456.789.012 remote-system.domain.address remote-system
345.678.901.234 local-system.domain.address local-system
where local-system has IP 345.678.901.234 and remote-system has
IP 123.456.789.012).
every time you want to sliplogin to remote-system do:
- ifconfig sl0 inet local-system remote-system metric 1
- route add default remote-system
- dial out to remote-system (I use kermit)
(- suspend kermit)
- login in remote-system (you must have a slip account on remote-system)
- slattach -a -h -s 115200 /dev/cua00 (change 115200 to the speed of your
output device; change /dev/cua00 to the output device you actually use)
That's it.
To accept slip logins from other systems you have to create user accounts
with sliplogin as shell and set up slip.hosts, slip.login and slip.logout.
Hope this helps,
-Michael
