- If I remember correctly (and how can anyone forget) you are running DELL's
- SVR4. DELL's slipattach command does all of the network setup for the
- slip connection including the ifconfig, slink, etc (and slipdetach
- undoes all of this).
-
- To do your ifconfig, you need to call it after you have slipattached. We
- have an S50slip file in /etc/rc3.d which includes the following
- lines:
-
- /usr/sbin/slipattach tty01 iti-gw iti2 38400
- /usr/sbin/ifconfig sl0 iti-gw iti2 netmask 0xffffffe0
-
- I can't remember if we created S50slip, or if the OS did.
