Hi,


  Well who hasn't...... I tried to slip with a friend who also has a
BSD386 system. We used the standard serial lines (com driver) with
a modem. We ifconfig'ed the sl0 interface, and then called the
other side with kermit (from /usr/othersrc/public/kermit-5a).
Used slattach. But if we try to ping each other, we see the modem
leds flicker, but the messages are not received. (100% packet loss)
we both had the terry's patchkit (#18 & #19) installed..
   maybe one out there knows whats going wrong....
