I don't use cisco SLIP, but I can say this about Sun SLIP: Sun thinks of
the SLIP line as a network unto itself, not as an interface to a remote
network. This means the SLIP line needs its own (unique) network (or
subnet) number and the interface at each end needs a host number on that
network (one for cisco and a different one for Sun). This is the same
model 4.3 BSD uses.
Try changing
sc->sc_if.if_flags = IFF_POINTOPOINT;
to
sc->sc_if.if_flags = 0; /* was IFF_POINTOPOINT */
in if_sl.c and rebuilding your kernel.
Then specify the remote network (subnet) number as the destination in the
slattach command.
This may work or it may not.
