slip_connect

#include <rtl.h>

void slip_connect (
    char const* dialnum );    /* Pointer to string containing the number to dial. */

The slip_connect function starts a dial-up connection to the remote SLIP server by starting the SLIP daemon in client mode.

The argument dialnum points to a null terminated ASCII string containing the phone number of the remote SLIP server.

The slip_connect function is in the RL-TCPnet library. The prototype is defined in rtl.h.

note

• You must call the slip_connect function when you want to establish a dial-up connection using SLIP.
• If you use a direct cable connection, you can set dialnum to NULL because the Null_Modem device driver ignores the argument dialnum.
