Installing SLIP

[Ron McCoy - Yale Security]

I'm trying to set up SLIP on a couple of RS/6000's. Please be
gentle, I'm new at this and RTFM'ing as fast as I can.

Everything seems to go OK until I try to start up the connection.
slattach is running on TTY1 with the right baud and modem
initialization string. DTR comes on on the modem, but nothing else.
There are no characters being sent to the modem. I tried out my
modem switch settings first by using them for straight dialin
(getty) from one box to the other. That works fine.

What would cause slattach to just sit there? Any ideas on what he's
waiting for? Direct mail would be preferred, and I'll post a
summary if there seems to be sufficient interest.
