SLIP on a DECStation (BSD style).

I am faced with the need to add a DECStation 3100 to our
existing systems (4.3BSD) via a serial line. On a BSD machine one
has to recompile the kernel with slip option and run the slattach
program on a tty line not running getty. After this the line is for
all practical purpose a serial line running tcp/ip protocol.
Ultrix seems to have changed the slattach program to include
dial up support, etc. and I do not have source for it. It is
unsupported by DEC. I would appreciate hints on how one can hook up a
Ultrix machine to a BSD machine by SLIP. Please send me E-Mail if you
have done so.
I have recompiled the Ultrix kernel and found that the slattach
supplied with Ultrix does not work the same way as the BSD version. I
also was not able to figure out from the documentation in
/etc/sliphosts how I could connect to a non Ultrix host.
Thanks.
