It's nearly impossible with slip as there > is no negotiation between the two computers with SLIP. Dynamic addressing is very possible with SLIP and freebsd. Something like this: 1. Dial and login with cu 2. Take note of IP adress that you are given 3. Suspend cu 4. Execute: slattach ... 5 Execute: ifconfig sl0 <my address> 6 Execute: route add default -interface <my address> I realize that that you'd normally ifconfig a SLIP address with both the local and remote addresses, but this doesn't seem to serve any purpose, and some servers don't tell you their address.
