I've read the FAQ section on SLIP but found it not very helpful. To begin with NetBSD doesn't seem to recognize my internal modem. Fine, I said to myself, and borrowed an external modem from work to plug into com2 (which the FAQ says is really tty01). The shell script in the FAQ doesn't work; it contains a reference to 'fix-cua' which isn't present on my system and isn't described in the FAQ. tip and cu will not talk to the modem at all. To top it all off, after setting up the /etc/hosts file I find that when I reboot I get a message that says 'network is down' that repeats every 10 minutes or so. Got any ideas?
