The following works for me, i use kermit to dial
into and set up the terminal manually but
you can use scripts if you like.
$1 = the port extension
$2 = the mtu size
passed as command line parms to "start.slip"
I use 256 as the mtu size with no problems.
#flush dirty routes
route -q flush
#clean up any dirty interfaces
ifconfig sl0 delete
ifconfig sl1 delete
#set my host name according to the port I'm attached to
hostname ozyd13-p$1
#run slattach at 57600 with hw on /dev/ttyd1
slattach -a -s 57600 -h /dev/ttyd1
#configure the interfcae sl0 as inet, mtu, CSLIP and up
ifconfig sl0 inet ozyd13-p$1 mtu $2 compress up
#add the deafult route so geos here if cant find route
route add default ozyd13-p$1
#tell me what the if and route table looks like now
netstat -r
netstat -i
ifconfig sl0
