10     SSllaattttaacchh is used to assign a tty line to a network interface, and to
11     define the network source and destination addresses.  The following
12     operands are supported by ssllaattttaacchh:
13
14     _t_t_y_n_a_m_e       Specifies the name of the tty device.  _T_t_y_n_a_m_e should be a
15                   string of the form `ttyXX', or `/dev/ttyXX'.
16
17     _b_a_u_d_r_a_t_e      Specifies the speed of the connection. If not specified,
18                   the default of 9600 is used.
19
20     Only the super-user may attach a network interface.
21
22     To detach the interface, use ``ifconfig interface-name down'' after
23     killing off the ssllaattttaacchh process.  _I_n_t_e_r_f_a_c_e-_n_a_m_e is the name that is
24     shown by netstat(1)
