If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional + PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname + when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost. + This isn't very consistent. + + One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP, + but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain. + This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do + + [when not running slip] + ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up + [to go to slip] + ifconfig dummy down + dip whatever + + This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver + and the loopback driver.
