I've read thru the FAQ's at freebsd.cdrom.com and being a first time
install/use of SLIP - I'm in the foggy stage. I was hoping to locate
a step-by-step FAQ for getting SLIP going from a fresh FreeBSD install.
I have a SLIP provider, IP address, Domain Name, & NameServer. I have
taken pieces of the various FAQ's and probably created a
Franken-FreeBSD. 8)
Has anyone got a pointer to a FAQ or equivalent that someone may have
written down the steps [ all the conf files, host files, 'etc' ] that
are needed to be performed? Is cu, tip, or kermit the preferred method
for dialup to the slip provider?
Thanks for any new pointers... Michael
