I just got my BSD machine up on the net, and it has a modem, so
I'd like to set it up as a SLIP server, so I have yet another
toy to play with. I have several questions about this:
1. I don't need proxy arp for the SLIP machine, but I do need to
get off the server machine. I realize I need a kernel with "options
GATEWAY" in it, so I'm building that now. Anything else? Will the
packet forwarding code automatically know what goes where, or do I
need to set up some strange system of routes?
[This box is on the net and happy with it. It is running routed, but
for all intensive purposes could get along w/out it, as the current
setup is VERY simple... Ie, "route add default <my gateway>"]
2. Assuming I get #1 right [I can now get off the SLIP server and to
the world], is there anything I need to have it work the other way?
Once again, I can ignore the machine on the local net, since they're
mostly WfWg or NT machines.
Not that it should matter, but I'm running NetBSD 1.0_BETA...
Clues appreciated,
