If anyone has successfully : gotten BSDI to accept a slip dialin, please help me out. We try to get our : customers to use PPP, but this customer requires SLIP/CSLIP (unfortunately, : the software he uses doesn't support PPP for another 3 months). Have you put the remote system in your /etc/sliphome/slip.hosts directory? Also, if you arent using the upgrade you may want to edit your /etc/sliphome/ slip files so it creates a Proxy ARP for your slip accounts. Also, make sure your kernel has some sl devices defined.
