- This has become an FAQ. BTW, is there an up-to-date NETBSD FAQ? If
- so, where?
-
- Anyway, for all those people trying to do dynamic SLIP connections,
- find the bsddip package at your favourite NetBSD/FreeBSD FTP server.
- It might be under the tools/ or incoming/ directory.
-
-
- What is this package? From the docs:
-
- DIP is mainly a tool to establish a SLIP connection. It handles all
- the necessary actions to set up the tty port and the modem, dial out
- and finally build up a SLIP connection between the tty port and the
- kernel. To do so, dip offers an own very simple command language (a
- mostly complete description can be found in the man page).
-
- Dip can handle both incoming and outgoing connections using password
- security for incoming connections.
-
- This dip version was ported from Linux to NetBSD, although it will
- work on other BSDish systems as well.
