I recently upgraded to 386BSD patchkit level 0.2.4.  The sio drivers
work great, but I'm having trouble getting SLIP to work with them.
I'm doing the following:

slattach /dev/sio01 38400
ifconfig sl0 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 up
route add default 2.2.2.2

telnet 2.2.2.2

Where 1.1.1.1 is the host address and 2.2.2.2 is the gatway's address.
This works well when I build the kernel with the /dev/com drivers,
but when I build the kernel with /dev/sio drivers, I get a 
"No route to host" error.

I recall a similar question being posted several weeks ago, but I'm
afraid I can't find it.
