I use ppp.device, so I can't speak from experience, but AFAIK all
current Amiga CSLIP drivers will degrade to SLIP.

You'll need a separate dialer such as dialer.device (which is included
in the DIS-96 archive). Drop rhcslip in Devs:Networks and alter the
cslip0 entry in db/interfaces to refer to rhcslip.device.

Env:Sana2/cslip0.config has to point to dialer.device instead of your
serial.device. Put the name of your serial.device in dialer0.config
along with your baud rate and login responses and you're away.

Having said that I'd recommend going along with Neil's suggestion to
use (and register) ppp.device rather than sticking with a slip driver.
