No, that was not the problem.
Actually, using pcvt is a great way to get full vt220/vt100 access.  I
recommend it to anyone willing to spend a small amount of time recompiling
the kernel.

As for the slip trouble, it had to do with the way our school dynamically
allocates ip's.  The slattach/kermit combo is very solid.  Not to get around
to automating it.  Is there a program like "dip" for FreeBSD?
