Well, it's up :-) Not under PPP (which is what I'd prefer to use, but my
ISP has a problem with) but with cu & slattach.
I loaded httpd and ftp'd my site over to it to provide a backup while my
ISP changed their tables to point to the 206.* network instead of the
class B address it was pointing at. If you want to see the performance
of a IIsi running on a 28.8 with httpd, check out

A couple more questions...
1. Using cu and slattach works, but I don't think it will reconnect if
the modem hangs up. This is a bad thing. Since I can not run pppd to my
dedicated port, that is not an option :-( Is there any other SLIP method
available that will AUTOMATICALLY reconnect if the modem drops?
2. Has anyone ifconfig'd an alias to I can point an IP (say 206.247.9.20)
to my main IP for the machine (206.247.9.1)? The reason is I'd like to
host a low volume http site off of it.
