| 27 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 28 | .I Slattach | |
| 29 | is used to assign a tty line to a network interface, | |
| 30 | and to define the network source and destination addresses. The | |
| 31 | .I ttyname | |
| 46f57dae MK |
32 | parameter is a string of the form ``ttyXX'', or ``/dev/ttyXX''. |
| 33 | The optional | |
| f80973db MK |
34 | .I baudrate |
| 35 | parameter is used to set the speed of the connection. If not specified, the | |
| 36 | default of 9600 is used. | |
| 37 | .PP | |
| 38 | Only the super-user may attach a network interface. | |
| 39 | .PP | |
| 40 | To detach the interface, use `ifconfig | |
| 41 | .I interface-name | |
| 42 | down' after killing off the | |
| 43 | .I slattach | |
| 44 | process. | |
| 45 | .I interface-name | |
| 46 | is the name that is shown by | |
