If successful, it puts the device into the slip line discipline. If carrier drops and a .Dv SIGHUP is sent to .Nm startslip , it closes the device and attempts to repeat the dialup and login sequence. .Pp Available options: .Bl -tag -width Ar .It Fl d .Nm Startslip prints out debugging information about what it is trying to do. .It Fl s Ar string The optional .Ar string is written to .Ar device . For a dialup modem, the string is used to specify a dial sequence. .It Fl A Ar annexname .Nm Startslip assumes it is connecting to a Xylogics Annex box and engages in an appropriate dialog using the .Ar user and .Ar passwd arguments. The .Ar annexname argument is a string that is used to match against the Annex prompt to determine when a connection has been established. .It Fl F Ar flowcontrol Determines the type of flow control used on .Ar device . Choices for .Ar flowcontrol are ``none'' for no flow control (the default), ``hw'' for hardware RTS/CTS flow control and ``sw'' for software XON/XOFF flow control. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sliplogin 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm startslip appeared in .Bx 4.4 .
