-I'm having troubles in getting the SLIP functions on TCP/IP 1.2.1 to work
-on my machine.  I went and installed the base package and configured it,
-creating a TCPSTART.CMD file.
-
-When I run this TCPSTART.CMD file, it calls up another script (SETUP.CMD),
-which fires up a program called SLIO.EXE, and runs a waiting program
-(SLIOWAIT.EXE).
-
-Unfortunately for me, the SLIO.EXE program doesn't continue running like
-it should.  As soon as it is started, at ends with a "result on DOSOPEN=110"
-message.  The calling scripts then fail with an abnormal end.
-
-Does anyone here know what that error message means?  And, more importantly,
-does anybody know how to fix it?

A return code of 110 indicates that the DosOpen call of the COM device
driver failed.  Most likely this would be due to trying to open a COM
port that is already in use (e.g. by the mouse) or one for which no
device driver is loaded.

Make sure you have the line "DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS" in your CONFIG.SYS
and also make sure that you are not trying to reuse a COM port.

-Thank you kindly,
