NAME
slattach - attach serial lines as network interfaces

SYNOPSIS
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
parameter 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.
