I've been working for an ISP for the past 8 years, so PPP and SLIP talk comes up alot. I don't usually post, just read, however I am curious about what kind of application could possibly be using slip as opposed to ppp now-a-days ?? > Hello, > > I am having difficulty setting up a SLIP connection between a Debian 4.0 > box > and FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE.
