pseudo-device sl [count]
DESCRIPTION
The sl interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces us-
ing the slip protocol.
An sl interface can be created at runtime using the ifconfig slN create
command or by setting up a hostname.if(5) configuration file for
netstart(8).
The sl interface can use Van Jacobson TCP header compression and ICMP
filtering.
