Hi

I've got SLIP up and running as a server using sliplogin on FreeBSD 1.0e. I'd, 
however, like to have software which allocates a number automatically 
(dynamically) and echoes the number when a user logs in. This doesn't seem 
possible with sliplogin (echoes in /etc/slip.login don't work).

I believe there is a Linux port of software which does this kind of thing. 
Does anyone know if a FreeBSD version exist?

Thanks,
Peter
