Here are my experimental files:

/etc/slip.hosts:
#
#
#
slbonn	192.109.108.194 192.109.108.128	255.255.255.0

/etc/slip.login:
#!/bin/sh

#echo "ifconfig sl$1 inet $4 $5 netmask $6" > /dev/console
/sbin/ifconfig sl$1 inet $4 $5 netmask $6 2> /dev/console

Of course, the /dev/console redirections should better be handled
by calling `logger'. But as a first guess only...
