I'm trying to get SLIP up and running on my machine at home.  I'm
running NetBSD 0.9.  I do the following:

  1. connect to the SLIP server using tip.  [SLIP server responds
     "Entering Packet Mode"]
  2. suspend tip
  3. slattach -a -s 38400 /dev/tty01
  4. ifconfig sl0 my_host other_host
  5. route add default other_host

When I ping the other_host, I see the modem SEND light blink.  But I
never receive anything back from the other side.

Any help would be appreciated..  Pointers to references would be 
greatly appreciated also.  [Am I missing a NetBSD faq somewhere?]

[Also... what's a good partition editor for MS-DOS that will work
 well with the NetBSD installation?]

Thanks
