     ssttaarrttsslliipp - dial up and login to a slip server

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
     ssttaarrttsslliipp [--dd] [--ss _s_t_r_i_n_g] [--AA _a_n_n_e_x_n_a_m_e] [--FF _f_l_o_w_c_o_n_t_r_o_l] _d_e_v_i_c_e _u_s_e_r
               _p_a_s_s_w_d

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     SSttaarrttsslliipp opens the specified _d_e_v_i_c_e.

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

     Available options:

     --dd            SSttaarrttsslliipp prints out debugging information about what it is
                   trying to do.

     --ss _s_t_r_i_n_g     The optional _s_t_r_i_n_g is written to _d_e_v_i_c_e. For a dialup mo-
                   dem, the string is used to specify a dial sequence.

     --AA _a_n_n_e_x_n_a_m_e  SSttaarrttsslliipp assumes it is connecting to a Xylogics Annex box
                   and engages in an appropriate dialog using the _u_s_e_r and
                   _p_a_s_s_w_d arguments.  The _a_n_n_e_x_n_a_m_e argument is a string that
                   is used to match against the Annex prompt to determine when
                   a connection has been established.

     --FF _f_l_o_w_c_o_n_t_r_o_l
                   Determines the type of flow control used on _d_e_v_i_c_e. Choices
                   for _f_l_o_w_c_o_n_t_r_o_l are ``none'' for no flow control (the de-
                   fault), ``hw'' for hardware RTS/CTS flow control and ``sw''
                   for software XON/XOFF flow control.
