Configuring the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)

Dynamic outgoing link characteristics

An outgoing SLIP link allows the physical equipment, such as a modem and telephone line, to be shared with other SLIP connections or other networking services, such as UUCP. In fact, UUCP facilities are used to implement this type of connection. The remote end of the connection must be configured as a dynamic incoming link. It must accept the login and password information forwarded by UUCP to establish the connection. See ``Dynamic incoming link characteristics'' for details about this type of link.

See ``Adding a SLIP link'' for more details. Also see ``Configuring UUCP for dynamic outgoing links'' for additional UUCP requirements for this type of link.
