Subject: Sliplogin in 2.0.5 won't play, is 2.1 any easier?

Hi all,

Attempts to set up slip service on my 2.0.5 box are getting me nowhere fast,
is the version in 2.1 any friendlier? I've created a slip.hosts file with
the hostname and IP number of the client system, but when I invoke
sliplogin hostname
(while su'd to root)
the result is a complaint about SIGIOFLAGS and a flood of shell prompts.
If there's an idiot's guide to setting up slip service it'd be most helpful;
the slip.FAQ seemed oriented toward setting up a client rather than a server,
please tell me if I'm mistaken.


thanks!

bob
