Hello Steph. Many thanks for your assistance but the problem lies not 
with Demon but with getting the correct configuration for slip. As you 
can see, I've got the ppp connection working fine but Martin lives in 
Germany and his service provider can only offer slip at the moment.

When I tried configuring Nos for slip I ran up against the problems I 
described. But thanks anyway!

>Best of luck, mate, and I think you are doing brilliant for a talking horse :o)

Of course, Of course... but these keys really are a bit too cloose fpr 
my hooves....now where did I put that nice bag of sugarcubes.....

 Yup! "ifconfig sl0 up" works for me if I type it as a command or 
 assign it to a hotkey as Steph suggests, "status up" does it 
 automatically if I put it in at the end of my dial.txt. ( after a 
 "wait 1000" line)

I assumed that Nos would work OK with slip as well but not so far. If 
it did this would mean that you could go straight from Nos/Oasis to 
Cab/Stick without having to break the connection and re-dial so I will 
keep trying. ( Although ppp is supposed to be better ).
>Good luck!

Cheers
