Maybe:
top -b | head -6 | tail -3

Yes. "option  netbios-name-servers 192.168.4.1;" in dhcpd.conf 
Replace 192.168.4.1 with your address.

Kernel PPP for server. User PPP for client. But you can use your
Slackware scripts to dialout. So use kernel PPP. This is my opinion,
and I think most on the list don't agree with me.

There was discussion about this. Check archives.

Most documentation is avaliable through man pages. 
So first try "man something". 
Also /usr/share/doc /usr/share/examples /usr/local/share/doc
Kernel config documentation is in LINT kernel config file.
