Bersbach) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: Dynamic IP's with SLIP Date: Sun, 17 Sep 95 13:12:10 EST Organization: University of Maine at Farmington Lines: 13 Message-ID: <43hkrm$1an5@saturn.caps.maine.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: al.umfacad.maine.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.93.6 I'd like to be able to assign IP addresses by modem port rather than by username so as to conserve IP addresses. Does anyone know how to do this? Even if dynamic IP addressing isn't possible, I'd like to be able to send the IP address to the SLIP dialin user so their dialer could hand it off to their TCP/IP stack, rather than forcing the user to type it in during configuration. Then dialin users wouldn't have to worry about IP addresses at all and the IP addresses could be changed without any user intervention. Thanks for your help.
