- There's a bug in the README -- it indicates that str_conf.c should be
- changed to add
- { "slipen", &slipencode },
- but it should actually be
- { "slipe", &slipencode },
- When done the wrong way, slip-attach gives EINVAL on the ioctl(I_PUSH)
- of "slipe."
-
- I got it going just fine, but was kind of shocked when I found that
- the system panics when the line drops. I'm using slip via dialup to a
- Pyramid at OSU CIS, the lines are pretty noisy, line drops are common,
- and the idea of a system panic for every line drop is a bit on the
- offensive side. Do you know of any fix to this code to prevent the
- panic? Or are you aware of any other slip packages suitable for 4.1?
- I've got Rayan Zachariassen's slip for 4.0, but it is also panicking
- my system (Sun4/110, SunOS 4.1.1) with "panic: mclput" when a
- significant amount of data is being received via ftp. Does there
- exist a known bugfix for mclput, or a change to Rayan's stuff?
-
- Any clues welcome.
-
- cheers,
