Hi all,

I'm trying to configure my machine as a SLIP client. I've tried

1) DIP, unsuccessful. Somehow the DIAL command never gets executed
2) SEYON, dial successfully to the SLIP server, but that's all. Ie, I can use the seyon 
terminal emulator to work with the remote machine, but cannot get it and my machine to 
talk to each other (so cannot run Netscape, etc)

I'm reading the PPP-howto and wonder if I should follow all the intructions there, 
recompiling the kernel from scratch, etc. I'm new to Linux, and not even sure whether I've 
compiled SLIP/PPP into my kernel, although I did choose the network option when 
installing Linux.  However recompiling the kernel is very daunting for me, as I don't know 
how to answer a lot of questions. Is there any way to find out whether I've got SLIP/PPP 
compiled into my kernel (or as a loadable module) already ? If it's already there, what do I 
lack to make my machine talk to the rest of the world ?

I've got kernel 1.2.13, slackware distribution. I've also set up the /etc/hosts, /etc/gateways, 
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2, /etc/resolv.conf... for my machine particulars.

Many thanks for any help.

Best regards,
TL.
