Help, I have been trying to configure a slip connection from my home machine to the office network for TOO long with no success. I NEED SOME HELP! At home I am running Esix System V R.3.2.D with a SLIP connection configured on com port 2. Hanging off that is a Hayes Smartmodem 9600 configured for 9600 bps connections. At work we have a TCP based (of course) network of Sun Workstations and an Annex II Terminal Server all on the same ethernet backbone. I have configured one of the Annex's ports for a slip connection by setting the mode to slip and the line speed to 9600 bps. This also has a Hayes Smartmodem 9600 attached. I am trying to get a direct connection link. I would like to be seen as a remote node on the office network. Everything on the Esix Sys V side seems to be working properly. The modems seem to connect properly at 9600 and any telnet commands to remote hosts apparently route packets through the modem. The problem seems to be getting the Annex II to recognize its slip connection. A netstat -iS command on the Annex shows no slip interface in use when the modems are hooked up and no received or transmitted packets in the stats. I have tried every different configuration I can think of including all the suggested configurations from every manual I could find. Nothing Works. If anyone has had any luck with this sort of configuration (I know that it cannot be as difficult as it seems) I would appreciate any and all help in setting up the port parameters and configuration files. Thanks. Send replies to this news group or mail to: paulo@durin.laguna.sparta.com voice phone: (714) 768-8161
