I am trying to connect my Linux box(Slackware 1.1.1) to Demon Internet 
Services' static SLIP server using DIP.  Everything goes fine until the script 
issues the "mode SLIP" command.  The message in the subject is then displayed 
and I am returned to the shell from which I started DIP.  The modem remains 
connected but ifconfig does not show any interfaces other than the default 
loopback one so I presume the SLIP connection has not been established.  I have 
read the NET-2-HOWTO and I can't see anything wrong with my configuration files 
but...
Does anyone know what causes the above message?
