[comp.sys.apollo] SLIP on Apollo Domain 4000 running sr10.2

Hi people!

I am new here to these group! I have some questions concerning the SLIP
supported on the Apollo's sr10.2. I had no previous experience with SLIP
at all, so please explain me in a more plain language, thanks.

I will be (very possitive) in charge of maintaing an Apollo cluster here, and
would like to establish SLIP connection to off campus Unix box users. I've
discovered the /etc/ifconfig sl0 <ip-addr> <dest-addr> line in /etc/rc.local,
(thanx, Robert) but I am not sure what should I do here to activate this line.
And once everything is ready to go, how do I establish THE connection?

Any possible help, comments, are greatly appreciated, and
many thanx in advance.
