I have played around with slattach and everything work except that I can't put it into rc.local. If I type the command "slattach com3 38400" from the keyboard as root then slip starts working, but if I put the same command in rc.local then the forked slattach process dies. If I ping the host at the other end of the link I get the message "link is down". The only way to set up the link is by giving the slattach command by hand as root. Is there a solution or I am doing everything completely wrong????
