OK, I have some more data about these SLIP related crashes that I've been happening. Here is what I've been doing to start SLIP sessions: 1) "cu -l /dev/cua01 -s 19200" 2) Dial up to Cisco terminal server, start SLIP; the terminal server gives me an IP address (chosen based on what line I've gotten in my hunt group). 3) Use "~^Z" to suspend cu. 4) "slattach -h -s 19200 /dev/cua01" 5) "ifconfig sl0 <my-ip-address>" 6) "route add default <my-default-router-address>" 7) "telnet <some-host>" At this point, the machine spontaneously reboots. No panic or anything, just a reboot - as if the CPU has taken a double-fault or something else that would shut it down. This even happens if I do "telnet localhost" in step #7 (but this may be because a DNS lookup is being attempted across the SLIP interface). Now, I *can* get this to work; between step #5 and step #6, I have to do "route add <my-network-number> <my-slip-address> 0"; I get a warning message that says "old usage of trailing 0; assuming route to if", but that was what I wanted anyway. *Then* I can use the network, and th machine does not crash. What changed to make this happen? I am using the -current version of 2.0, which I am sup'ing from freefall. I first noticed this behavior in a kernel I sup'ped some time around the first or second week of December. Thanks, --Pat.
