   I'm trying to download the bindist and srcdist via SLIP and ftp and have the
TinyBSD system installed on my HD.  Here is what I do:

stty 19200 </dev/com2
tip /dev/com2
[start slip on other end]
~<CTRL-Z>
slattach /dev/com2 19200
ifconfig sl0 128.173.19.25 128.173.16.1 netmask 255.255.252.0
route add default 128.173.19.255
cd /tmp
ftp 128.32.136.1

---------

After doing that I get an ftp time out....I checked the modem lights and my
computer is sending stuff, but doesn't receive anything...can anyone see
anything wrong with what I am doing?
