Just what, exactly, does one to to "properly" get SLIP running?  I can 
run with SLIP, using a modified version of what is in the SLIP HOWTO 
document.  That method, as I remember, was as follows:

	1. Use cu to dial the phone, and set up the SLIP connection on 
	     the remote side.
	2. "slattach -h -s {port speed} {IP addr} {gate addr} 
	     netmask {netmask} up"
	3. "route add default {gate addr}"

The problem I have with this is that I can't get cu to dial the phone, 
reportedly because I need to set CD on.  This will screw up the modem 
for the mac side (yes, I still use it there too), so that isn't an 
option.  Instead, I use the InterSlip program under MacOS to setup the 
SLIP connection, and then boot NetBSD.  Then, after logging in as root, 
I proceed with the above method from step 2.

I understand that DIP is a better method to use, but so far, I haven't 
gotten it to work.  Is there a walkthrough somewhere on how to get it 
set up properly?
