Subject: [386bsd] Sample slip.login script anyone?

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
