slattach woes
A friend of mine tries to connect two pc's over the serial line
with slattach, but failes. He comes to me, I try and fail:(
So I turn to you guys. Please don't fail me:)
According to Net-* a simple
# slattach /dev/ttyS0 &
# ifconfig sl0 A pointopoint B up
# route add B sl0
on machine A, and on machine B the similar
# slattach /dev/ttyS0 &
# ifconfig sl0 B pointopoint A up
# route add A sl0
should work. But I can't ping to the other:(, there is no
activity on sl0 (checked with ifconfig and xnetload)
I do have A and B in /etc/hosts, don't know what else to do.
O, and I get many
sl0: transmit timed out, bad line quality?
on my console.
