I've run around my new FreeBSD system and found startslip for initiating 
SLIP connections.  I've looked at the man pages, and for all I can find 
it does have no scripting feature, just a password and username command 
line paramater.  THis of course causes me proboems because there is a 
little more that I have to enter besides just a username and password for 
my ISP to get the SLIP server running.  IS there any sort of scripting 
tool I can use in conjunction with startslip, or does startslip have 
something like that?
