Hello,

I am having difficulty setting up a SLIP connection between a Debian 4.0 box 
and FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE. I have enabled the sl driver in the kernel. I have 
tried using slattach on /dev/cuad0 (usually "slattach -s 115200 /dev/cuad0) 
only to watch slattach immediately die with no output as to why. If I give 
the -l option it creates the sl0 interface but will not accept traffic. 
Reading through the years old FAQs states that a 'netstat -i' with the sl 
driver installed should show sl interfaces but netstat does not list any sl 
interfaces. I have tried to load the kernel module if_sl but I have had no 
success.

Has anyone on this list had any success with using SLIP?

Thanks,

Kai Lockwood
