I am having problems running my machine over a slip line.  I dial up the
campus and start slip on the server side fine.  Then, I suspend kermit (I also
tried killing it) and type:

% slattach -h -a -s 57600 /dev/cua01

This works quite fine and doesn't exit.  Pings never get to the slip server
though.  I used the exact same ifconfig and route as in the Slip.FAQ because
my setup is approximately the same.

I think this might be caused because the server doesn't support CSLIP.  Is
this a possibility?  I left off the "-c" on the slattach because it was for
compression.  I have tried all sorts of routes and all the options of slattach,
but it doesn't work.

One other problem:  the consoles in F*BSD don't support vt100 codes, so
every time I use a school site that does, codes like "1h" appear on the screen. 
What term types are the consoles and how could I make them vt100 compatible?
I am using "cons25" as the present type.

Thanks a lot for any help,
