My >efforts so far did not succeed. All seems to work. Until I try `ping ><server>' then I get something like `no route for <server>'. You need to take the following steps: - run seyon to make the connection - activate SLIP on the other side - exit seyon (make sure it doesn't hang up, I think there is a setting for that but can't remember and check right now) - run slattach - add a route (you probably want the 'default' route, since the SLIP interface is presumably the only one except for the loopback) to the other end, if it's not yet present. - also make sure you have the nameserver set up ok Of course, PPP is more flexible, and features autodial, etc, but this is a list of basic things you would need to do to get SLIP running using Seyon, not using a script. - Frank
