I'm having problems getting slip to run correctly.  The connection is
made and lasts for about 10 seconds, then dies.  I do the following:

1. Establish the modem link using Kermit, then escape back to my pc.
2. "slattach /dev/tty00"
3. "ifconfig sl0 inet <clientIP> <serverIP> netmask 255.255.255.0
4. "route add 131.118.0.0 <serverIP>
5. "route add default <serverIP> 

I can finger and sometimes I can telnet, but things seem to die quickly.
I've tried using rts/cts and no flow control, but it still dies.  Any
one have any ideas how to resolve this problem?  I've followed the directions
in the FAQ.
