I have recently installed FreeBSD and am trying (with great difficulty) to get sliplogin to work; I've read the man pages, FAQ's and doc's; tried setting up as listed, and many other trials; after two weeks I think I need help; The server answers and runs sliplogin, but any packets sent just idle to nowhere; and, after 30 or so seconds, it drops the line. Incidently, running slirp after logging in as a regular user gives no probs. The object is to allow several users to use trumpet winsock w/netscape. I have not yet tried ppp; but I'd like both to work. As this is my first posting I really didn't know how much info to send. Any ideas, or any sources of info; I have read several books on unix and tcp/ip and bbs's; and the postings from other FreeBSD newsgroups; My resources are getting seriously into the red, and any help that you may provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steve
