Slattach worked without -z (forced redial) and -u (unit command) flag but hanged if they were set set. Exactly the working configuration was: /etc/start_if.sl0: ------------------ slattach -chs 38400 -r /etc/dialcmd cuaa0 /etc/dialcmd: ------------- chat -t 50 -f /etc/scr >/dev/cuaa0 </dev/cuaa0 /etc/scr: --------- "" atdp123456 ogin: branch word: "" name: sl123 word: password This script was made for a strange configuration with two rlogin-based gateways on the way.
