Hello!
For a project concerning a release of 2.11BSD running on the
SIMH/PDP-11 setup, I need to setup a SLIP services connection on my
Linux box. He is running Slackware-current (Current as of the beginning
of the month.)

Creating the SLIP connection is the easy part. Its the Bootp services
bootptab file creation that has me confused. I've read the man page and
it gives an example for one, namely the one used at its original
location CMU as matter of fact. And I'll even go over the documentation
that is stored in the usual directory, and even go over the HOWTOs as
well, but I am looking for advice here. As such since the majority of
these services are obviously retained for supporting older systems and
services I suspect my problem just might fall under that guise's
purview.
