First, take a look at the syslog file, and the "m" should have been
replaced by an error message.  Also, is the dudisc_slip1 program
setuid to root?  This message indicates an error attempting to open
/dev/tty; I don't know for certain why this would be.

Does the connection get made and does the SLIP interface (slip1)
actually come up, even if not in a working state?
