I had slip working fine with 386bsd0.1+pk0.2.2. I installed pk0.2.3
about a month back and recompiled the kernel as well as the whole source
tree. A few days back I needed to use slip and it wouldn't work. This is
what I used to do when slip was working fine.

1. Use kermit to dial in.
Suspend kermit and do the following on the local machine
2. slattach /dec/com1 19200
3. ifconfig sl0 ip_add ip_add
4. route add default ip_add

All these commands do work even now. But telnet, finger, ping etc don't
work even if I use the ip-address of the other machine. Is there any way
to find out where the problem lies? I have tried using netstat, but
since I am a novice at it I can't seem to make much sense out of the
output from netstat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Natraj.
