1.

'/usr/libexec/pppd /dev/sio01'  hangs up the modem immediately upon
being run, and the following message gets echoed:

Oct  9 17:37:44 budo pppd[421]: Using interface ppp0
Oct  9 17:37:44 budo pppd[421]: write
Oct  9 17:37:44 budo pppd[421]: write


I'd recompiled the kernel with 'pseudo-device   ppp', and  tip and SLIP
seem to work allright.  What's wrong with PPP?


2.

My SLIP (and PPP) gateway machine is non-local (phone-wise), and I am trying
to first log into a local net provider, and then telnet to the gateway
machine.  The SLIP session seems to get stuck (flow control?) right away,
and nothing happens.  Binary zmodem transfers work from that machine, so
I assume the link is 8-bit.  Doing 'stty -ixon -ixoff -opost cs8'
didn't have any visible results.

Has anyone succeeded in SLIP-ing via a telnet/rlogin session (from a machine,
not an annex port) ?

BTW.. SLIP works fine when I telnet to the gateway's annex.


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
