I am using slip, here are the exact steps that I go thru:

Establish async connection: cu -l cua00  (then manually 
dial...kludgey...I know).

ifconfig sl0 inet myip slipsrvrip netmask nmsk

where myip is my ip address, slipsrvrip is the slip server ip, and nmsk 
is the appropriate netmask for the "slip network" (mine is 0xffffff00).

route add default slipsrvrip

where slipsrvrip is the slip server ip

slattach -c /dev/cua00

the -c is need for mine because I am running CSLIP, not regular SLIP.

Hope that this helps you out...
Bj.
