Greetings,
	I'm having a rather tough time configuring our SLIP connection. I basically followed the directions in the SLIP.FAQ but I have not been able to get it to work. I can login without any problems into the SLIP server but cannot get the machines to talk to each other. I have included various outputs of netstat, ifconfig and ping. Any input on this would be appreciated.

* netstat -r
