I thought I would share it in case it will help someone else. I wrote 2 shell scripts start.slip and stop.slip: start.slip ---------- kermit ifconfig sl0 inet <my-ip-addr> <termserver/gateway-ip-addr> slattach -c -h -s 115200 /dev/tty01 # -c VJ compression -h rts/cts route add -net 0 <termsrvr/gateway-ip-addr> stop.slip --------- kill -INT `ps -aux | grep slattach | grep -v grep | cut -c8-15` ifconfig sl0 down route flush A couple of notes: I have a .kermrc file that has all of the kermit commands to connect and login etc. It inits the modem with &D0 to force DTR on the modem so the connection isn't dropped. Is the pid of slattach stored somewhere? The first line in stop.slip is a convoluted way to get the pid of slattach and kill it. Regards, John
