I am trying to setup slip between a Telebit WorldBlazer and
a Fastcomm 9600. I have the following script

#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
	 ./tip -s slip >/dev/console 2>&1
	 sleep 100
done

and slip is in my /etc/remote 

slip:sa= xxx.xx.xx.xx:da=yyy.yy.yy.y:sm=255.255.0.0:st=slip:rt:\
        :dv=/dev/cua0:br#19200:du:at=hayes:pn=xxxxxxx:ls=login.script:

(ofcourse the xxx and yyy are completed in the entry)
(sa = local address and da is destination)

The modem dials out (from a SUN IPC) with the Telebit WB and
logs into a sparc2 with a Fastcomm.

The modems connect, the following message comes at my Home
terminal (yes! I have the kernal configured ...etc),

[Logging in...]
Aug  9 23:13:21 benjy vmunix: slip0: coming up
add net 0: gateway xxx.xx.xx.xx
[SLIP running]

Subsequently nothing happens, ping da (the yyy.yy.yy.yy )
doesn't work. Do I have to run something on the destination address
to make the slip to connect? The systems remain connected! I feel
I am very close to setting up slip! Any help would be appreciated.
Please respond by email.

Regards
