Is the slip protocol compiled into the kernel? (Look at the boot log
in /var/log/messages). Reason I ask - very few people are using slip
any more.

/dev/cuaX has been deprecated since the 2.2.0 kernel YEARS ago. You
want to be using the /dev/ttySx devices.

Can you talk to the serial port using minicom or pppd?

Just curious - why are you trying to use slip - the protocol is pretty
much dead - I don't know anyone still using it.
