by Hi,
I am trying to set up SLIP with a local provider. I have read the
NET-2 stuff. I started with slackware 1.1 (kernel 0.99pl15). I
upgraded the kernel to 1.1.18 (with the SLIP/CSLIP support), and got dip337uri.
What happened is that the sample script worked, and I got a prompt
back, but also got the usage message for 'route', and nothing seemed
to work. I guessed that my current route did not like -net and
thought dip was trying that, so I found a version of route that goes
with DIP. Now when I try dip (which I start as 'dip startup_script'),
the script completes and then I get this message:
socket: No such device
I even tried getting MAKEDEV 1.4 (I had 1.2), and ran MAKEDEV net.
Same error. I really don't know what I am doing wrong. I suspect a
full reinstall of the new slackware might clear it up, but I would
prefer to avoid that if I can help it.
thanks for any help,
Kevin
