(default) +.It Ar link1 +Don't pass through ICMP packets. +.It Ar -link1 +Do pass through ICMP packets.

(default) +.It Ar -link2 +Don't auto-enable compression. +.El +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It sl%d: af%d not supported . +The interface was handed +a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address +family; the packet was dropped. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr inet 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr ppp 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 , +.Xr slattach 8 , +.Xr sliplogin 8 , +.Xr slstats 8 +.Rs +.%A J.
