We are trying to get slip going with proxyarp.  We are running FreeBSD
2.0.  SLIP seems to simi work,  we can connect to our pop server, but we
can not connect to other sources such as WWW sites.  Also, we can not
connect to our DNS server.  Also, slip seems to work for a while and
than packets no longer seem to get passed from the server to the client.

We are using proxyarp because we only want use a few ip numbers from our
net.

Our slip.login in file looks like this:
#!/bin/sh -
     #
     #       @(#)slip.login  5.1 (Berkeley) 7/1/90

     #
     # generic login file for a slip line.  sliplogin invokes this with
     # the parameters:
     #      1        2         3        4          5         6     7-n
     #   slipunit ttyspeed loginname local-addr remote-addr mask
opt-args
     #
     /sbin/ifconfig sl$1 inet $4 $5 netmask $6 
     # Answer ARP requests for the SLIP client with our Ethernet addr
     /usr/sbin/arp -s $5 00:61:8c:11:23:aa pub

I have compiled in the proxarp in the kernel and we are running gated,
which we should not need because we are using arp. Also, I have
ipforwarding turned on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Paul
