@(#)startslip.1 5.1 (Berkeley) 10/20/90

C 7 startslip - dial up and log in to a slip server startslip [ -d ] [ -s string ] dev user passwd Startslip opens the specified device. If the -s option is specified, the optional string is written to the device. For a dialup modem, the string is used to specify a dial sequence. Once carrier is asserted startslip attempts to login as the specified user with the given password. If successful, it sets the device into the slip line discipline. If carrier drops and a SIGHUP is sent to startslip , it closes the device and attempts to repeat the dialup and login sequence.

If the -d option is specified, startslip prints out debugging information about what it is trying to do.
