Can someone post an example of how it >is/was done? Followed Instructions in INSTALL.NOTES but modem never dialed. The instructions assume that you have already dialed your modem and turned on SLIP at the other end. I got SLIP to work following the instructions, but I had dialed and started SLIP under Linux. However I got continuous silo overflows under 386BSD (at 9600 bps using a 33 MHz 486). I ended up downloading the files under Linux and writing floppies! I believe you could use tip to dial the modem and get things started, but if my experience is typical (there are reports saying similar things), SLIP isn't quite ready yet.
