Hi,

AFAIK, SLiRP (like TIA) is used to establish SLIP connections, not PPP
connections.  To use pppd, you need to have a ppp connection.  My guess is
that in the MacOS side, when you are connecting, you are really
establishing a SLIP connection.

I have not used the NetBSD SLIP, but that is what I would try.  Look
around in the /etc directory and there should be some kind of slip files.
