Bzzt. He is using a custom-compiled, non-debian 1.2.13 with no modules. It has SLIP and CSLIP in the kernel, and both work, but dip does not execute `route' or `ifconfig' after making the connection as best as I can tell. About all I haven't tried is `strace'. In any case, I can't get SLIP or CSLIP to work with DIP. On *my* machine, it works fine. I'm not sure why; our kernels are almost identical. Thanks, Jeff
