- Hi,
-
- I download a version of slip driver for Unix 4.0 from wuarchive.wustl.edu.
- I would like to know an explanation about it, if possible.
- I read in slattach(1M) manual pages:
- The - option causes stdin to be used as the device to be attached
- to the SLIP driver. This option is used to convert a remote login
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- line to a SLIP connection.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- and in README file:
- The - option.... This is only to be used by a dial slip utility
- so that a slip user can login and use the same line as the device
- to be attached to slip.
-
- I don't understand what do you mean this and how the slip utility work.
-
- slattach -d /dev/tty00 9600 sl0 and
- slattach host sl0 work correctly.
-
-
- Can you help me to understand this?
-
- Thanks in advance for Your attention
-
- Your sincerely
