I've been using the SLIP connection for about 3 days now. I give both local
and remote to the IP address the server assigned to me. I use dip's
interactive mode to do this. I don't know if this is the proper (best?) way
to do it. Anyway, it works fine most on my system. I am thinking about to
modify the dip program to setup SLIP automatically just for my case if this
is the right way to set up SLIP.
I do have a problem though. When I set modem speed to 38400 (with "setserial
/dev/modem spd_hi", I should be getting 57600 (56000?)) and telnet to a host,
sometimes it freezes (no response on screen, typing "dir" for example). But
every keystroke and response do get through the modem line since the SD and RD
lights flash. I can start another telnet sessions though. This did not
happen when I set speed to 19200. Any idea?
