Okay, so I'm trying to run SL/IP on my Ultrix 4.1 system using DEC's
unsupported version of SL/IP (based on cslip).  I've gotten the modified
code from their support center and I've modified it to work with PSInet.

However, I can't seem to shut the connection down properly.  If I do a
kill -HUP on slattach, it just exists.  Subsequent attempts to executed
ifconfig sl0 <> <> <> give me destination address error messages.

It there a graceful way of shutting down a SL/IP connection to allow UUCP
traffic to flow?

Thanks
