103 default value is 9600.
104 .It Fl t Ar script_timeout
105 Set login script timeout in seconds, default value is 90.
106 .It Fl w Ar retry_pause
107 Set connecting retry pause in seconds (increased from one retry to another),
110 Set maximum number of connection retries for one session,
112 Value 0 means infinite count.
118 Return character is added automatically.
120 the string is used to specify a dial sequence.
121 No string written by default.
122 You can specify several
124 arguments to use with each try, f.e.
125 several host phone numbers.

137 argument is a string that is used to match against the Annex prompt
138 to determine when a connection has been established.

144 Disable modem control (waiting for carrier and carrier drop sense) for
146 Modem control is enabled by default.
148 Specify a script to run when a SLIP interface becomes connected.

155 are passed to the script are "slX up".
158 Dial sequence number (see
162 environment variable.
163 .It Fl D Ar downscript
164 Specify a script to run when a SLIP connection goes away.
166 are passed to the script are "slX down".
169 Dial sequence number (see
173 environment variable.
174 .It Fl K Ar keepalive
175 Set SLIP "keep alive" timeout in seconds.
176 If FRAME_END not received during this
177 time period, a reconnect will occur.
178 Active "out fill" timeout expected from other
180 Default value is no timeout.
182 Set SLIP "out fill" timeout in seconds.
183 It causes at least one FRAME_END
184 to be sent during this timeout.
185 Needed for "keep alive" timeout on other side.
186 Default value is no timeout.
188 Set SLIP unit number directly.
189 Use with caution, no check for two
190 interfaces with same number made.
191 Default is dynamic assignment.
193 Use uucp-style device locking.
194 You need it unless you start
196 from external program which already does uucp locking.
197 Default case is no uucp locking to satisfy such programs.
