This is really easy.  You need the simplest script file that there is
to do SLIP over a dedicated serial line.  Just create a file, put its
name in the script field on the appropriate line in
the/usr/dialupip/config/diald.conf file.  This script consists of one line:

	go

which tells the diald process that the SLIP connection has been
established.  Make sure that you have DCD (carrier detect) on the port
asserted since diald uses that to determine of the line has dropped.

The example script files are just samples of the most usual case of
dialing a modem (and possibly logging into a SLIP server).  You are
free to hack those over anyway that you want; the only thing that's
required to enable SLIP on a particular line is to invoke the "go"
command in a script file, somewhere, somehow.  It's not necessary to
maintain the structure or to emulate the example files if it seems to
be inappropriate for you situation.
