What I don't want to allow is for the interface to be set up without there being an associated tty. I have a change that will give us both what we want. Basically, "ifconfig srcaddr dstaddr" will set the interface up if it is currently attached to a tty. Otherwise, it will be set 'up' as soon as slattach turns the interface into a SLIP device. -DG
