This document provides suggestions for setting up SLIP Server services on a FreeBSD system, which typically means configuring your system to automatically startup connections upon login for remote SLIP clients. The author has written this document based on his experience; however, as your system and needs may be different, this document may not answer all of your questions, and the author cannot be responsible if you damage your system or lose data due to attempting to follow the suggestions here.
This guide was originally written for SLIP Server services on a FreeBSD 1.x system. It has been modified to reflect changes in the pathnames and the removal of the SLIP interface compression flags in early versions of FreeBSD 2.X, which appear to be the only major changes between FreeBSD versions. If you do encounter mistakes in this document, please email the author with enough information to help correct the problem.
