- I'm just getting started using SLIP, and am also having some problems
- (many of which are probably due to my inexperience).
-
- Every time I bring up SLIP, I re-establish the route; it doesn't seem
- to work otherwise. Again probably need to investigate, but instead just issue:
-
- route -n -f
- chdev -l inet0 -a route=default,9.5.22.5
-
- (substitute your own default route)
- (don't ask me why I use "route" one time, and "chdev" the other when "route"
- would do both... it's working!)
-
- Now, anyone know how to write a long and involved chat script, where the
- other end (at one point) issues three separate messages, and the RISC 6000
- only responds to the last of them?
