Hi,

When I boot up my machine the sl0-device is setup with ifconfig. Also a 
default route is added to my internet-provider using 'route add default'. I 
have changed this to a script-file where kermit calls in, slattach is run 
and the sl0 device is configured and the route is set up.

But in the old situation the machine should detect that the connection isn't 
there, I think?? But when I used 'netstat -r' it went wrong. Netstat tries 
to check the routes, but one of the routes is down. Ths shouldn't give any 
problem BUT... the system instantly reboots!!!! When the system comes up 
again the filesystems aren't clean (seams logic) but all kind of files are 
damaged due to the sudden reboot...

I have solved this problem using 
ifconfig sl0 down
ifconfig sl0 delete 

before dialing and running slattach and running
ifconfig sl0 193.78...... etc.
after dialing.

Now everything works fine, but I just wanted to let you know
