The SLIP code shipped with BSD 4.3 is included with AOS.  The problem
is that the asynchronous support shipped in December '88 did not work.
This problem is fixed by fix V1.3.  With fix V1.3, SLIP works at
19200 bps.

Here are the things you need to do to set it up:
Make sure the psuedo device "sl" is in your kernel config file 
(It is in "GENERIC").
Compile slattach (find it in /usr/src/etc). 
login using tip or kermit or whatever.
put this in the background with control/z.
on each host:
/etc/slattach tty speed  (e.g. slattach tty01 19200)
/etc/ifconfig sl0 inet source destination options.
