hello all,

i issue the following comands :

slattach -p slip -s 38400 /dev/ptypf &
sleep 3
ifconfig sl0 pointopoint 44.163.68.11 mtu 1536 44.163.68.20
sleep 3
route add 44.163.68.11 sl0
sleep 3
route add -net 44.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 44.163.68.11
sleep 3

then i issue :

ifconfig sl0

and i get :

sl0      Link encap:Serial Line IP
           inet addr:44.163.68.20  P-t-P:44.163.68.20  Mask:255.255.255.255
           UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1536  Metric:1
           RX packets:132 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:90 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:10

notice it has the same ip address for both ends of the point to point link 
and that is *not* what was specified in the ifconfig command. what did i 
miss here? thanks for any help.

rick
