Hi...

I have a problem with FreeBSD 1.0 Gamma.  A program called sliplogin is
supplied for starting up SLIP connections on stdio.  Unfortunately the
slip.login script that the manual entry mentions is NOT supplied.

I wrote one myself that calls ifconfig, but now sliplogin exits and logs
the message :

ioctl(TIOCSETD): Inappropriate ioctl for device.

Can anyone help?

... Stephen
