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.
