What does fail miserably mean?  How are you invoking slip?  Are you using
dip and a script?  Have you tried dip -v so you can watch the dip
progress?  Does your kernel have slip support compiled into it.  Do you
set up your serial ports in RC.local? Have you set up your routes and
addresses?  Do you have and IP address or expect to get one from the
ISP?   Does the script dial, but not connect; connect but not log in; log
in but not start slip?  Need a little more information . . . 

I'd suggest the SERIAL-HOWTO and the dip README documentation.
