The remote SLIP shell may be in VJ Compression mode. My version of slattach has that feature. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 19200 be preceded by a -s? i.e. slattach -s 19200 /dev/com2. If you have VJ Compression, this can be called with slattach -c -s 19200 /dev/com2. Also, to see if it is a case of VJ Compression, see if you can ping any hosts. >ifconfig sl0 128.173.19.25 128.173.16.1 netmask 255.255.252.0 This might be daft, but is that 252 supposed to a 255? - Nizar. >*----------------------------------------------------------------------------* >* Matthew C.
