Hi,

I have a 385SX-16 running 2.1.5...when you've finished laughing...

I have my mac connected via a null modem cable...I can connect the mac to
the UNIX by running ppp -direct but if I connect using slirp it only
partially works. Telnet is fine but ftp connects but the says no route to
host when trying to create its ftp-data connection.

slirp can detect its IP address on startup and so I tell it via .slirprc
it is 10.0.2.2. Could the lack of IP address be causing problems (it works
fine on a 2.1 box that is on an ethernet LAN)? If so how do I give the box
one as it dosnt have a network interface...it just uses ppp sometimes...

I'm using slirp 1.0c

Thanks,

Andrew
