  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.
