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 6 Execute: route add default -interface 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.
