slip (serial line ip) on decstations

[Brad Huntting]

I've been trying for days now to get slip running on a decstation (any
decstation) with a telebit T2500 modem.

I recompiled the kernal (DS5000 w/Ultrix 4.0) with
	psudo-device	sl
and it seems happy.  But when I do a `netstat -i' theres no `sl0'
interface!

`ifconfig sl0' doesn't believe it's there.  There's no message on
reboot to sugest that it's being initialized.  I'm stumped is dec's
if_sl.c just plum busted?

I have a version of tip which will deal with T2500's (the /etc/slatach
provided with ultrix doesn't), and slip but it bombs with "no such
interface" (paraphrased).

Tell me I don't have to rip out the whole kernal network code, and put
in Berkley please!
