Hi
I am trying to get my 1.1.54 Linux machine set up as a slip server, and
am having some problems. I dial in and uugetty picks up the phone and I
login as Saravis. sliplogin starts and I receive no error messages BUT at
the other end slip does not seem to get started - no ping, no route etc.
Now, I am not certain if I have got the other end (a PC running PCTCP V3)
set up correctly, so could someone cast a look at these files and see if
I am getting something wrong at the Linux end? Is there a slip log file
somewhere that gives more info on what is happening???
Here is my set up...
