I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I'm looking to set my
FreeBSD system up as a slip host, and I'm looking for a good /etc/slip.login
file to use on my machine. I've gone through the man pages, and it says
that the parameters are passed as "args". does that mean arg0, arg1? Or
just one long string "args" that I then have to worry about breaking
out. Same with teh device and speed... Do I just through a $slipdevice
in there? Or no. Any help appreciated. thanks.
