Message-ID: <ekennedy.754064115@cwis> Summary: How do you configure FreeBSD for incoming SLIP connections? Keywords: SLIP FreeBSD Sender: news@news.unomaha.edu (UNO Network News Server) Organization: University of Nebraska at Omaha Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1993 14:15:15 GMT Lines: 17 I am trying to configure a incoming SLIP line for FreeBSD. My configuration is PC running FreeBSD 1.0 with a DOS PC connected to it with a null modem cable. I have tried CSLIPPER, UMSLIP, and SLIP8250 as SLIP drivers on the PC. I am able to login to the FreeBSD machine and use the line as a terminal with no difficulty. When I login with an ID that runs sliplogin as it's shell I get a message that the slip connection has started. I have tried NCSA Telnet, WATTCP apps, and QVTNET. I am unable to connect with the server (however they do start up okay, in other words they are finding the packet driver). If I load a comm package and ping the PC from the FreeBSD machine I can see that information is infact being sent to the PC. It appears as though the information is not recognized by the TCP/IP packages. Any suggestions? Is there a special setup for the tty port to support incoming SLIP? I've spent serveral hours trying to figure this out and am kind of at a loss as to what to try next. (BTW, I have looked at all of the FAQ's). Thanks, Eric Kennedy (ek@cwis.unomaha.edu)
