NAME
     slattach - attach serial lines as network interfaces

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/slattach ttyname [ baudrate ]

DESCRIPTION
     slattach is used to assign a tty line to a network inter-
     face, and to define the network source and destination
     addresses. The ttyname parameter is a string of the form
     ``ttyXX'', or ``/dev/ttyXX''.  The optional baudrate parame-
     ter is used to set 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
             /etc/slattach tty3
             /etc/slattach /dev/tty3 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 interface's configuration.
