NAME
     startslip - dial up and login to a slip server

SYNOPSIS
     startslip [-b baud] [-d] [-f pidfile] [-p pause] [-s string] device user
	       passwd

DESCRIPTION
     Startslip opens the specified device.

     Once carrier is asserted startslip attempts to login as the specified
     user with the given password. If successful, it puts the device into the
     slip line discipline.  If carrier drops and a SIGHUP is sent to
     startslip, it closes the device and attempts to repeat the dialup and lo-
     gin sequence.

     Available options:

     -b baud	   Set the baudrate of device to baud.

     -d		   Startslip prints out debugging information about what it is
		   trying to do.

     -f pidfile	   Save the process id in pidfile.

     -p pause	   Number of seconds to pause in parent before exiting.

     -s string	   The optional string is written to device. For a dialup mo-
		   dem, the string is used to specify a dial sequence.
