Message-ID: <CJI72t.3xu@latcs1.lat.oz.au> From: wongm@ipc6.lat.oz.au (M.C. Wong) Date: Wed, 12 Jan 1994 06:23:17 GMT Sender: news@latcs1.lat.oz.au (news) Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Lines: 19 Hi, I am just wondering if I can set up a SLIP connection say from my COM1 to COM2 (including a null modem), and configure that 2 SLIP interfaces for use during a Telnet or rlogin session ? How can I tell Telnet and/or rlogin to use a particular network interface ? The thing is for localhost connection, it will always use loopback interace, isn't it ? So, that means I will have to set up my system as a gateway with 2 different IP addresses. Am I right ? Can I do it that way, if so, how can I configure my kernel to have 2 different names ? I suppose this is the same for system with 2 Ethernet cards, right ? Thanks in advance, and email replies please! - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au
