Hello everyone.
I've been using SLIP under 0.9 for the longest time.
It worked great.
Now I have 1.0 running, and I just got my phone line
reinstalled (didn't pay the bills...).
So I go to set up the SLIP line, like I've done 1000
times before:
a) dial terminal server with kermit
b) set up on that end
c) escape back to my machine
d) run the following commands:
slattach -h -m -s 19200 /dev/com1
ifconfig sl0 my.slip.adr.ess
ifconfig sl0 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig sl0 broadcast the.broad.cast.address
route add default the.gate.way.address
And away we go! Right?
Well, I go to telnet out, and nothing gets sent to the port.
Absolutely nothing. No activity on the modem. None.
Nothing else goes out either. ping, ftp, rlogin, ...
Thing is, I don't think I've changed anything since it
was working under 0.9.
/dev/com1 is linked to /dev/tty01, my resolv.conf, hosts,
ttys, everything is the same.
Has something changed with 1.0 as far as slip is concerned?
Is there a way to verify the interface has been configured
correctly?
Am I doing something wrong?
I would REALLY appreciate any pointers or tips here.
Thanks a million in advance.
Regards, Colin.
