this was mentioned a while ago, and apparently a patch has yet to be
produced...
as of pl58, there is a bogus "return;" statement on line 638 (i think)
in /sys/net/if_sl.c, which ensures that all packets received
by the slip handling code get tossed.
remove it, or comment it out, and all will be happy.
BTW, if you want "real" RTS/CTS flow control, get my serial driver,
and apply the patches to /sys/kern/tty.c and /sys/sys/ioctl.h...
the current version defines CRTSCTS to simply be output flow control,
rather than output and input...
i might send my patches to the appropriate people if i have time...
