I had SLIP working (although it was somewhat flakey) under 386bsd+pk-0.2.3.
After installing pk-0.2.4 (built new kernel, built world) I can still
establish a SLIP connection to a remote host but if I try to do anything
over the SLIP link (ping, traceroute, telnet) I get a 'no route to host'
message.

I've checked (and double checked) my interface configuration and routing
table and all seems fine.  The slattach command adds a host routing entry
to the remote SLIP server and I've manually added the default route:

  route add default REMOTE-HOST-IP -hopcount 1

The only difference that I can think of is I'm using the high-speed com
driver (sio) now.  I don't suspect this is a problem though since
other serial stuff (kermit, tip, seyon, mouse driver in XFree86)
is working fine with the sio driver.  And I don't get any more silo
overflows!

I'm anxious to try SLIP out with the sio drivers but I've hit a brick
wall here.  Any ideas?
