Hello, I am having difficulty setting up a SLIP connection between a Debian 4.0 box and FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE. I have enabled the sl driver in the kernel. I have tried using slattach on /dev/cuad0 (usually "slattach -s 115200 /dev/cuad0) only to watch slattach immediately die with no output as to why. If I give the -l option it creates the sl0 interface but will not accept traffic. Reading through the years old FAQs states that a 'netstat -i' with the sl driver installed should show sl interfaces but netstat does not list any sl interfaces. I have tried to load the kernel module if_sl but I have had no success. Has anyone on this list had any success with using SLIP? Thanks, Kai Lockwood
