This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

beyond compiling the definition of struct ifinfo!) Also fix up some
other #include messes while we're at it.
current unit number, and the "new" unit number of -1. This allows the
script to actually deconfigure the SLIP interface (e.g. by running
"ifconfig delete") which has been impossible previously.
This is most likely a candidate for 2.1, too.
slattach always exited early because fd is not open in acquire_line().
Other (trivial) changes that I've been neglecting for some time:
- Turn off O_NONBLOCK so that `chat' doesn't need to worry about it
(`chat' actually does worry about it).
- Really set speeds POSIXly :-). cfsetspeed() isn't POSIX.
- Fix spelling error in comment.
- Gripe about bad programming of doing everything from signal handlers.
slattach should be written to do everything from the sigsuspend() loop,
but I don't want to do it :-).
From me:
Use .PATH to find uucplock.c
Submitted by: bde
-K #: set SLIP keepalive timeout
-O #: set SLIP outfil timeout
-U #: set SLIP unit number
sighup handler now sets tty disc for non-redial case too.
Implement SIGURG handling (from keepalive).
POSIXing speed settings.
established. This way, automatic scripts are possible that might
control the SLIP connection. It's unacceptable for a daemon that's
being controlled by a variety of signals to not leave its PID
somewhere. The file name contains the terminal path name component of
the associated tty device, so it should be unique even with multiple
parallel slattach's running. The file will be unlinked at regular exit.
Also found a minor bug in the option handling by compiling with -Wall.
FDs and fork before redialing) to prevent dialer from hanging with
newer sio.c.
Also moved history from the source to the cvs log (here) per
David G's suggestion.
This compiles but needs testing now... Rich

* This version of slattach includes many changes by David Greenman, Brian

* represented as functional anywhere outside of RAINet though they do work
* for us. Documentation is limited to the usage message for now. If you

*
* Added '-u UCMD' which runs 'UCMD <old> <new>' whenever the slip
* unit number changes where <old> and <new> are the old and new unit
* numbers, respectively. Also added the '-z' option which forces
* invocation of the redial command (-r CMD) upon startup regardless
* of whether the com driver claims (sometimes mistakenly) that
* carrier is present. Also added '-e ECMD' which runs ECMD before
* exiting.

* marc@escargot.rain.com (Marc Frajola) 93/09/10
*
* Minor fixes to allow passive SLIP links to work (connections with
* modem control that do not have an associated dial command). Added
* code to re-check for carrier after dial command has been executed.
* Added SIGTERM handler to properly handle normal kill signals. Fixed
* bug in logic that caused message about no -u command to be logged
* even when -u was specified and the sl number changes. Tried to get
* rid of redundant syslog()'s to minimize console log output. Improved
* logging of improper command line options or number of command
* arguments. Removed spurious newline characters from syslog() calls.

* sighup_handler changed to set CLOCAL before running redial_cmd.
* added flag exiting, so exit_handler is not run twice. Fork
