Adding the SLIP protocol stack
You must add the SLIP protocol stack before
configuring any SLIP links. To do so:
-
Log in as root
on the machine on which you want to configure
the SLIP stack,
and run the Network Configuration Manager.
-
Select Add new WAN connection from the Hardware menu.
-
Select SCO TCP/IP SLIP driver from the list of
WAN connection types.
-
Select SCO TCP/IP from the list
of networking protocols that can be used with SLIP,
and click on Add.
-
To add a link endpoint, choose a link configuration type and
follow the instructions in
``Adding a SLIP link'',
beginning with step 5.
To defer configuring links, click on Cancel.
A message appears indicating that the SLIP driver
has been successfully configured.
-
Select Exit from the Hardware menu.
-
Select Yes when prompted to relink the kernel,
and enter y at the two prompts that appear shortly after.
-
Shut the system down and reboot it by using the
System Shutdown Manager
as described in the
SCO OpenServer Handbook.
Remember to select Reboot after shutdown when using the manager.
