Pleeeaaaase? I managed to connect to my SLIP provider and ping the machine. When I try to telnet that machine though I get the initial messages "Connected to host, Ctrl-] etc" but I don't get the login: prompt. The instruction given by the provider for people using Winsock are to have gateway and netmask 0.0.0.0. With FreeBSD gateway doesn't work as 0 so I entered the annex address. (Please don't get mad) Is there a fast and easy solution to this problem? Thanks Paraskevas
