I have been trying to get my FreeBSD box to handle slip dial-ins; I have one class 'C' address subnetted as 255.255.255.248 (3 host bits); I have the modem on the .16 subnet, with ip addr .17, and want the remote machine dialing in as .18. routed deletes the interface after nearly tree minutes. Danny informed me that the sl0 interface needed to be marked as passive. I have tried several dozen combinations, killed and re-ran routed; then watched the log each time. Usually the interface won't mark as passive; even when I get a combination that appears to work, as soon as the modem answers, and sliplogin runs, the interface is UNmarked passive, and the problem repeats. in /etc/gateways I have tried combos of: host 205.150.48.18 gateway 205.150.48.17 metric 1 passive net 205.150.48.16 gateway 205.150.48.17 metric 1 passive net 205.150.48.16 gateway localhost metric 1 external host 205.150.48.18 gateway 205.150.48.17 metric 1 external host 205.150.48.17 gateway localhost metric 1 passive etc. with net lines, host lines, passive and external. Can someone tell me which one(s) will work? Many thanx, Steve
