*** VERY IMPORTANT - SLiRP USERS PLEASE READ THIS ***

Replace aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd with the ip number of the host (unix)
machine. Use this same number in your wattcp.cfg file. Your ip
number will be the same as that of your host. Do NOT use the ip
number reported by SLiRP anywhere in your configuration. If you
do, it just won't work! I'm serious. I *know* that SLiRP says you
can use any ip number you want. For most applications this is
fine, but Kali *must* *must* *must* have SLiRP setup using the unix
host's ip# in wattcp.cfg (my_ip) and in the redirection commands in
.slirprc. Ok?

Also, the baudrate is not the actual speed of the modem. It's hard
to explain. Read the SLiRP docs for more info. Basically, higher
numbers have faster through-put and slower response; lower numbers
have slower through-put and faster response. You can experiment.

Next, follow all the steps for using SLIP above. As far as
connecting to your SLIP provider, connect to your shell account as
you normally would. If you are connecting through a terminal
server, be sure to get an 8 bit connection using rlogin. Some
terminal servers have commands like "terminal download" or "set
session 1 passall" to provide a better connection for pseudo SLIP
users. If you have trouble with Kali working through a terminal
server, be sure to look into this. After attaching and logging in,
just type slirp. Exit your communication program without hanging
up and continue like other SLIP users (see above).
