I recently configured NetBSD0.9 on a tosh laptop, and had what appears to be
exactly the same problem.  I had done a slattach, ifconfig'd the line and then
done a ping, with the result that the modem showed ping packets getting
transmitted, but there was never any reply.  My problem appeared to be that the
line speed I set from kermit to do the remote login was 38400.  I didn't specify
a speed with the slattach so it defaulted to 9600.  When I matched both speeds by
doing a slattach -s 38400, everything worked fine......

Cheers,
