Ok, just a few notes:

>slattach /dev/com2 19200

	Does your slattach support VJ Compression? The remote SLIP
shell may be in VJ Compression mode. My version of slattach has that
feature. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 19200 be preceded
by a -s? i.e. slattach -s 19200 /dev/com2. If you have VJ Compression,
this can be called with slattach -c -s 19200 /dev/com2.
	Also, to see if it is a case of VJ Compression, see if you can
ping any hosts.

>ifconfig sl0 128.173.19.25 128.173.16.1 netmask 255.255.252.0

	This might be daft, but is that 252 supposed to a 255?
