SLATTACH(8)

NAME
slattach - attach a network interface to a serial line

SYNOPSIS
slattach [-v] [-p proto] [-s speed] [tty]

DESCRIPTION
Slattach is a tiny little program that can be used to put a normal terminal ("serial") line into one of several "network" modes, thus allowing you to use it for point-to-point links to other computers.

OPTIONS

[-v]
    Enable debugging output. Useful when determining why a given setup doesn't work.

[-p proto]
    Set a specific kind of protocol to use on the line. The default is set to cslip , i.e. compressed SLIP. Other possible values are slip (normal SLIP), ppp (Point-to-Point Protocol) and kiss (AX.25 TNC protocol).

[-s speed]
    Set a specific line speed, other than the default.

If no arguments are given, the current terminal line (usually: the
    login device) is used. Otherwise, an attempt is made to claim the indicated terminal port, lock it, and open it.
