All I want to do is connect two pc's running 386bsd (or maybe (not on MY machine!) OS-half) via slip. I wonder could somebody provide a quick explanation of how to choose host numbers and names, where to put them, and what the config files look like... all this "ifconfig foo <hostnumber> " example stuff has got me lost, a CONCRETE example (perhaps added to the FAQ) would I feel solve a good many problems.. Please? Chris. -- Christopher J Biggs cjb@cs.uq.oz.au | "You can have peace. Or you can Department of Computer Science, | have freedom.
