    NAME
         slattach - attach serial lines as network interfaces

    SYOPNSIS
         slattach ttyname [ baudrate ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Slattach is used to assign a tty line to a network inter-
         face, and to define the network source and destination
         addresses. The ttyname parameter is a string of the form
         ``ttyXX'', or ``/dev/ttyXX''.  The optional baudrate parame-
         ter 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.
