I'd like to run slip between two UNIX machines, one being a DECstation 3100 running UWS 2.1. I tried to add /etc/ifconfig sl0 ... to the rc.local file but when I do I get the following message: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface Is there a way to run slip on a DECstation? Where/what is the pseudo device for ifconfig? Is there any way to run slip over a LAT tty similar to a LAT printer? Thanks, Dave <benu@bnlux0.bnl.gov> !ARPAnet <hassel@bnlcl1.bitnet> !BITnet <bnlcl6::hassel> !HEPnet/SPAN/ESnet

Slip is provided unsupported on Ultrix 3.1. Before you get your hopes up, it happens to be broken on Ultrix 3.0-3.1 on a DECstation 3100 due to bugs in the serial line driver. Should work on other machines. I believe this is fixed in the proverbial next release. - Jim -- Digital Equipment Corporation Cambridge Research Laboratory
