This guide was originally written for SLIP Server services on a
FreeBSD 1.x system. It has been modified to reflect changes in the
pathnames and the removal of the SLIP interface compression flags in
early versions of FreeBSD 2, which appear to be the only major
early versions of FreeBSD 2.X, which appear to be the only major
changes between FreeBSD versions. If you do encounter mistakes in
this document, please email the author with enough information to
help correct the problem.
For FreeBSD 1.x users, all of the files referenced in the directory
<tt>/etc/sliphome</tt> are actually in the <tt>/etc</tt> directory.
