I had extreme difficulty getting that perl script to work, but I
finally did it.  It really saves me alot of trouble; before I had
to hand-type the inet address it gave to me!
In any case, I have the slight problem that the network connection
wil be lost after a short while!  Anyone fixed this problem?
It appears that my slattach process simply disappears... possibly
due to a bug?
I have to manually slattach ifconfig and route add default to get
it to work again (the modem doesn't actually hang up).
Also, the stty command didn't like min and time... any idea why?
