Help! I'm new to kernel building, having learned UNIX on SysV machines. I have what MUST be a simple question: I've got Ultrix 3.0 on a VS2000. I'd like to try the slip code, but I can't seem to get it compiled in. I've added "option NSL" and "pseudo-device sl" to my config file. I've even added NSL to the options in the kernel makefile. I just can't get any of the related executables to do anything. Ifconfig claims there's no interface "sl0", slattach doesn't complain - but it doesn't do anything either. Can somebody give me a clue? DEC doesn't say boo in the documentation about slip, but the stuff's there - and I've seen people write about it here. Help!

Boo. (Well, you said that DEC doesnt say.... ahh, nevermind. Hmmmm. Works for me. No options NSL line. Just the pseudo-device sl line. does netstat -i show the sl0 device? Does ifconfig sl0 show it? Fred
