Followup-To: poster Date: 3 Jul 1994 15:07:46 -0500 Organization: MCSNet Subscriber Account, Chicago's First Public-Access Internet! Lines: 29 Message-ID: <2v75qi$n4k@Venus.mcs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: venus.mcs.com I've just installed FreeBSD 1.1.5R and have to say it was a very easy install. I kept waiting for something to blow up, but there weren't any significant problems to be had. Good job guys! Unfortunately, I am having some problems getting SLIP working, but I think that due to ignorance on my part more than anything else. I'm using kermit to bring up the modem connecting and login to the terminal server. No problem there. Then I run slattach -c -h -s 115200 /dev/tty01 That doesn't seem to be a problem either. Kermit is set up for 115.2 kbps rts/cts flow control (as is the modem). However, I'm not sure what syntax I should use with the route command. With my Windows SLIP software, the gateway address is 0.0.0.0. But this doesn't seem to work here. Do I need to find out the ip address of the terminal server or what? One little note on kermit, if you install from the /ports directory, make sure that you edit the Makefile so it put the man page in the right place - it tries to put it some place that doesn't exist instead of /usr/share/man. Also, make will try to put the binary in /usr/local/bin when there isn't a directory with that name after the default install. Your kermit binary ends up being named ``bin'' in the /usr/local directory. Thanks in advance for any help. -John
