Date: Wed, 9 Dec 1992 22:54:51 +0000 Message-ID: <9212092332.AA15281@pizzabox.demon.co.uk> Sender: usenet@demon.co.uk Lines: 19 I have two sites both with assigned IP numbers. I want one to call the other using slip. I know how to call with slip OK because I already do it to a commercial slip service. But being a slip server is new to me. I've set up the user id, created a slip.hosts file, but can't work out from 'man sliplogin' what's supposed to be in a slip.login file. Could anyone who runs a dial-in slip server on 386bsd send me a sample /etc/slip.login please? (And maybe your slip.hosts just to check I've got that right, thanks) I'm also not too sure about name resolving etc. As far as I can make out, because its only two stations point-to-point, I don't need any fancy stuff and just put the two names+ip no's in my /etc/hosts file, right? Thanks for any advice, Graham
