Slipstart and sliplogin ultimately call slattach anyway. Why not go
directly to the engine? Also, sliplogin requires a login which is overkill
IMHO.

I ran into the same problem while trying to use WAMPES on FreeBSD.
The approach with slip over a pty has been annoying me for years (using
Linux) and I didn't want to go through the same torture again, so I
hacked tun support into WAMPES. No need to use slip/slattach anymore,
just do an attach tun, ifconfig tunX, that's it.
Maybe you can use the idea (or even the code) in TNOS.
WAMPES is available from
wampes-960823.tar.gz can be found in
ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming/
or
ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/wampes/
or daily mirrored (for European sites):
ftp://insl1.etec.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/hamradio/wampes/
BTW, tun in WAMPES has only been tested with FreeBSD-current, but it
should work on 2.1.x, or NetBSD with a little tweaking, too.

Olaf

I agree, the tun stuff is probably the way to go.
The problem with wampes or tnos or any of them is that there is a lot
of functionality that is a duplicate of what's in the unix kernel.
I started to make a "trimmed" version of wampes to get the size of the
binary down to something reasonable, but I'm re-thinking the whole
project.
What I think is really needed as a pair of processes, one for send and
one for receive that can block when nothing is going through them and not
continually "loop", wasting processor cycles, and that do AX.25 and
function as a specialized IP router with features like RSPF.
I also like to run a bbs that takes advantage of unix, with several
small processes that do specific jobs like user interface, mail routing,
etc. This makes it possible to do things like use sendmail for a
packet/internet mail gateway, interface to a web page form and forward
via FTP fairly easily.
Just some thoughts..
regards,
-Jim Durham
