NAME
       slipdialinfo - SLIP dialstring database

DESCRIPTION
       The slipdialinfo file contains the send-expect dialstrings used to
       initialize a SLIP link.  The format of the /etc/slipdialinfo file is
       as follows:

                    dialsystem send expect [ send expect ] ...

       Items are delimited by any number of space or tab characters.  A
       leading # character indicates the line is a comment.  Blank lines are
       ignored.

       The following send string escape sequences are allowed:

       \\     to send a '\' character

       \n     to send a newline character

       \r     to send a carriage return character

       \s     to send a space character

       \w     to delay transmission for approx. 1/2 second

       Additionally, a send string may be set to the keyword IQUERY to force
       the daemon to interactively query the user for the next send string.
       When the IQUERY keyword is detected, the daemon prompts the user with
       '[IQUERY] <previousexpectstring>' to obtain the next send string.
       This feature is useful in situations where an account password may
       change based on the time of day.

       Dialsystem is a name used to lookup a series of send-expect strings
       associated with an outbound SLIP link request.  send and expect are
       the strings sent to the modem (port) and received in response.
       Typically the last expect string is sent by the remote host when it
       enters IP packet mode.  The implementation transmits a startup string
       compatible with PC-NFS (Trademark) (i.e., SUNSLIP plus link address
       information).

EXAMPLES
       The following slipdialinfo entry will initiate a SLIP session by
       dialing the remote system, logging in, and invoking an 'exec slipd'
       command at the shell prompt.

       myslip ATDT1234 CONNECT \r ogin: name word: pswd $ exec\sslipd SLIP
