Hallo all,
I had a problem with a SLIP connection. Here is what I did to solve it. Thanks to
Brad w. I "solve" the problem. Brad suggested to use the 'dp' program. I tried that
, but..... It's very good for ppp I guess, but I wanted to use SLIP. (The Internet
supplier use it, that's why).
Thanks to the dp-mail archive found on that computer Brad sugguested, I ftp'd ppp-2.04
from merit.edu/pub/ppp/sunos-new and used the program chat. And that's all I needed.
In a shell script the chat program contacts the supplier and after that I start slip with slattach.
Works perfectly
An other question to answer is:
Where did you get a working SLIP for Solaris 2.4 from???
>From Sun pcnfs. It's OK :-)
Again Thanks and perhaps I can help sometime.........
Below you find the original question and the answers I got.

My original question was:
Sun Sparc IPX
Solaris 2.4
28k8 tron modem.
I have set up a SLIP connection by hand using tip (for dailing the phone number
and started slattach dev MY-IP HOST-IP SPEED. Now I want this actions automatically.
My question is:
- Is there a communication program which can start slattach after the
connection is made.
I tried to re-compile the tip version which come with the software slip40
whithout succes.
Any suggestion how to set up dail-up SLIP is welcome.
Thanks
Theo Dibbets

Have a look at `expect' which will do this sort of thing.

If you do get it working, please let me know ASAP.

drop all this in favor of dp-4.0alpha.. fairly stable.. also, supports
lots of things and is faster...
