I'm trying to connect to an ISP with SLIP, but I can't get it to work. The SLIP FAQ that came on my FreeBSD CD is not much help. I don't know if I have everything set up correctly... I've tried to set it up as described in the FAQ, but the FAQ doesn't properly explain what to do with all of the config files... Satoshi Asami shows his own configuration files as an example, but doesn't explain what he's done. The ISP assigns a different IP address each time I log on. Am I supposed to use ifconfig to set the new IP address I've been given, then use slattach? I tried to do that, but ifconfig says "unable to assign requested address". I have no idea whether or not I have my config files set up properly. I'd appreciate any help I can get. IMHO someone should write a new FAQ.
