To disconnect I kill both tip and slattach. Even better yet, if you use kermit you can quit kermit without the modem hanging up and you then just run slattach. To disconnect kill slip and run kermit again to hangup the modem (or do it manually). I made a short script that does the slattach and adding of routes, makes life much easier. -- Brett Lymn
