Hi everyone, I am attempting to set up a slip connection between my
NetBSD0.9 box and a local terminal server. I connect to the server using cu,
initialize the connection, then pause cu, and run the following:

	% slattach -s 19200 /dev/com1
	% ifconfig sl0 netmask x.y.z broadcast a.b.c
	% route add default j.k.g

And after this last command, I get this:

	  writing to routing socket: network is unreachable
	  add net default: gateway j.k.g: network is unreachable

I have my /etc/hosts and my /etc/resolv.conf set up [apparently] properly,
but I can't seem to get my machine to know where the gateway is (I guess
that's obvious, from the error message).

Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Thanks alot, Colin.
