NAME
       slattach - attach serial lines as network interfaces

SYOPNSIS
       slattach ttyname [ baudrate ]

DESCRIPTION
       Slattach	 is  used  to assign a tty line to a network interface, and to
       define the network source and destination addresses. The ttyname param‐
       eter  is	 a  string  of	the  form  ``ttyXX'',  or ``/dev/ttyXX''.  The
       optional baudrate parameter 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
	       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 interface's configuration.
