Slip is still the ideal protocol to interface microntrollers because of its simplicity. PPP just wastes space for this purpose. Unfortunately neither IPv6 nor USB serials were working with the -current I use. You can connect using ucom device but may expirience hangings, which might already be solved. Mmm - and acording to this thread there is a new problem. At least it still works with my (old) system: /var/run/slattach.cuaa0.pid [78]cicely13# ps -ax | grep sla 18680 p0 R+ 0:00.01 grep sla 18678 a0 Ss+ 0:00.01 slattach -l /dev/cuaa0 [79]cicely13# ifconfig sl0 sl0: flags=8011 mtu 552 [80]cicely13# uname -a FreeBSD cicely13.cicely.de 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #15: Sun Jun 15 06:26:51 CEST 2003 ticso@cicely13.cicely.de:/var/d7/builder/FreeBSD-2003-06-05-cicely13/src/sys/i386/compile/CICELY13 i386 -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
