Slattach ttyname [baudrate]
DESCRIPTION
Slattach is used to assign a tty line to a network interface, and to de-
fine the network source and destination addresses. The following
operands are supported by slattach:
ttyname Specifies the name of the tty device. Ttyname should be a
string of the form `ttyXX', or `/dev/ttyXX'.
baudrate Specifies the speed of the connection. If not specified,
the default of 9600 is used.
Only the super-user may attach a network interface.
To detach the interface, use ``ifconfig interface-name down'' after
killing off the slattach process. Interface-name is the name that is
shown by netstat(1)
EXAMPLES
slattach ttyh8
slattach /dev/tty01 4800
DIAGNOSTICS
Messages indicating the specified interface does not exit, the requested
address is unknown, the user is not privileged and tried to alter an in-
terface's configuration.
