Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention that the"/usr/net/bin" does
not exist. But looking for the "route "and "ifconfig" that I need, it
looks like /sbin should be the one to use. Trying that out I find that
I have no "slattach" command so I cannot execute the line:
/sbin/slattach -s 38400 -p slip /dec/ptypf &
I looked thru the linux -hams archives and found that Redhat has
replaced slattach with "kissattach".
So I tried the line "/sbin/kissattach -s 38400 -p slip /dev/ptypf &"
but that didn't work either. Do you how R.H. 5.1 handles making this
link?
