Hello,
	Could somebody help me to solve this problem? 

	I'm adding SL/IP driver to ESIX Rev.C (if you never dealt
	with it - it's System V.3.2 plus TCP/IP, probably Wollongong,
	but I'm not sure about that).

	Now all I need is to push the new driver to the STREAM under
	IP module, and SL/IP is running (well, after slattach :-).

	But the "netdaemon" supplied with the system, as I was
	told, cannot be configured. So: what should I do to push this 
	SLIP driver to the stream? I would write my own daemon to do
	just this, but I'm a bit afraid to break all the TCP/IP -
	since there's no configuration file ("netd.cf"), I don't
	know exactly what that daemon is doing, what links it's
	setting, and so on...

	How can I do this without breaking other things? Where can I
	find out what that "netdaemon" is doing in order to emulate
	it? Who can help?

	Your help is mostly appreciated.

	Regards,
	Uri.			uri@ibm.com

P.S. The driver I'm using came from Mr. John Ioannidis, it needed small
     adjustments, but basically it's good as is.
