I have to get this off of my chest, having watched Linux EAT my filesystems 8 times already, I gave up on it. So I decided to eat crow and try out FreeBSD. Well, the 2.0R was about as bad as Linux, and kept on eating my filesystems (this is a dx-2/66, 8 RAM, ISA, 420 mb IDE hd). Well, I gave it one more chance, and the 950412 snapshot works beautifully! In fact, I'll keep FreeBSD as my ONLY UN*X if I can figure out one thing: To establish SL/IP i normally have to use SLIRP(a pseudo-slip connection on the AIX machine I dial into). The only thing I've had success using is Trumpet Winsock(don't laugh). My usual connection is like this: login: /*I enter my username*/ password: /*enter the password*/ $: /*at the prompt I type 'slirp' and the manually initiate slip with winsock*/ ...... Since I've never used Kermit or anything _decent_ like it, I would like to know the easiest way to configure my system for this pseudo-slip connection. I tried Satoshi Asami's SLIP Client doc but that didn't work. Having said my piece, I bid you adieu.
