I'm now trying  SLIP connection between my two NetBSD macs (Classic II and
Iici, NetBSD 1.3.1 on both), following the directions from the "Networking
FAQ for NetBSD/Amiga"
(http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/NetBSD/NWF/nwf_toc.html) as below
:


> 3.2.3.3 Manual SLIP setup

> The steps for setting up a manual SLIP connection are basically the same as
> for PPP:
>
>   1. Configure sl0:
>
>      # ifconfig sl0 inet <local-ip> -arp -trailers <remote-ip>
>
>   2. Connect to remote machine via kermit:
>
>      kermit> set line /dev/tty00
>      kermit> set speed 9600           # or whatever
>      kermit> set flow rts/cts
>      kermit> connect
>
>      If your're using a modem, you'll have to dial before connecting:
>
>      kermit> dial <your terminal-server's phone number>
>
>      Log into your remote machine's SLIP-account or start SLIP by hand
>      (using slattach or some menu; please consult your network-admin!).
>      After that (when you get weird chars on your display) terminate kermit.
>   3. Start up the local SLIP service:
>
>      # slattach -s 9600 /dev/tty00
>
>   4. Enable the network connection
>
>      # ifconfig sl0 inet up
>
>   5. Turn on routing:
>
>      # route add 0.0.0.0 <remote-ip>
>
>   6. ping some remote site, see section 3.2.1 Configuring your
>      ethernet-board. Those pings should succeed.
>
> You can use higher baud-rates than 9600 on both, PPP and SLIP.

Now my question is, what do I do about this "kermit" thing?
Is that a command or an application?
