+.TH SLATTACH 8 "2011\-12\-31" "net\-tools" "Linux System Administrator's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+slattach \- attach a network interface to a serial line
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "slattach [\-dehlLmnqv] [\-c command] [\-p proto] [\-s speed] [tty]"
+.br
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Slattach
+is a tiny little program that can be used to put a normal terminal
+("serial") line into one of several "network" modes, thus allowing
+you to use it for point-to-point links to other computers.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B tty
+Path to a serial device like
+.IR /dev/ttyS* ", " /dev/cua* " or " /dev/ptmx
+to spawn a new pseudo tty.
+.TP
+.B "[\-c command]"
+Execute
+.B command
+when the line is hung up. This can be used to run scripts or re-establish
+connections when a link goes down.
+.TP
+.B "[\-d]"
+Enable debugging output.  Useful when determining why a given
+setup doesn't work.
+.TP
+.B "[\-h]"
+Exit when the carrier is lost. This works on both /dev/tty and /dev/cua
+devices by directly monitoring the carrier status every 15 seconds.
+.TP
+.B "[\-v]"
+Enable verbose output.  Useful in shell scripts.
+.TP
+.B "[\-q]"
+Operate in quiet mode - no messages at all.
+.TP
+.B "[\-l]"
+Create an UUCP-style lockfile for the device in /var/lock.
+.TP
+.B "[\-n]"
+Equivalent to the "mesg n" command.
+.TP
+.B "[\-m]"
+Do \fBnot\fP initialize the line into 8 bits raw mode.
+.TP
+.B "[\-e]"
+Exit right after initializing device, instead of waiting for the
+line to hang up.
+.TP
+.B "[\-L]"
+Enable 3 wire operation. The terminal is moved into CLOCAL mode, 
+carrier watching is disabled.
+.TP
+.B "[\-p proto]"
+Set a specific kind of protocol to use on the line.  The default
+is set to
+.BR "cslip" ,
+i.e. compressed SLIP.  Other possible values are
+.B "slip"
+(normal SLIP), 
+.B "adaptive"
+(adaptive CSLIP/SLIP),
+.B "ppp"
+(Point-to-Point Protocol)
+and
+.B "kiss"
+(a protocol used for communicating with AX.25 packet radio terminal node controllers).
+The special argument
+.B "tty"
+can be used to put the device back into normal serial operation.
+Using 'ppp' mode is not normally useful as ppp requires an additional ppp daemon
+.B pppd
+to be active on the line. For kiss connections the 
+.B kissattach
+program should be used.
+.TP
+.B "[\-s speed]"
+Set a specific line speed, other than the default.
+.PP
+If no arguments are given, the current terminal line (usually: the
+login device) is used.  Otherwise, an attempt is made to claim the
+indicated terminal port, lock it, and open it.
