I use a modified tip from the cslip package. This allows me to make a slip connection by doing nothing but tip remote-host This tip calls sliplogin once the connection is made. Though, setting up various files to make this work was no fun and I had to fix a dialer bug in tip for the modem I am using. >Does anyone have a substitute for tip - a comms package for example >or any other method to autodial and start slattach, preferably >something simple. You can try `chat' from ppp-1.2 (or ppp-1.1). It will run a uucp dialer style dialog on its stdin/stdout and exit with 1 on on failure and 0 if the dialog succeeded. Something like #!/bin/sh ( chat "" "ATDT 1 800 555 1212" CONNECT "" \ "olgin:" "\r\your-name" assword: "\qyour-password" || exit 1 slattach 38400 /dev/cua1 /sbin/ifconfig sl0 inet my-host remote-host netmask 255.255.255.0 # setup any routes ) < /dev/cua1 > /dev/cua1 may do the trick.
