Are you not even able to get TIP to work?

I too am having problems with the internal sportster.  Everything works
great as long as i'm using TIP.  But SLIP is a different story!  

I know everything in the software is configured correctly because I have
an older 2400 baud modem which is working just fine with SLIP.  The
USRobotics is doing something and i'm not quite sure what!

I noticed in an earlier post:

I tried turing everything off &D0 &A0 &... etc etc but still no luck...

Any suggestions would be very greatly appreciated!
