I'm in a very similar situation: I can connect from my home machine to
the slip server on my office machine, but apart from being able to
ping the slip interface, I can't get any further (can't even ping the
ethernet interface on the slip server machine). I wrote Louie a while
ago asking for help (Hi, Louie! I'm a paying customer....:-) but
didn't hear anything.

I wouldn't clutter the net with this, but I think that if someone
could post a good description of what to do to establish connectivity
on a slip server so that slip clients can connect to the net, it would
be a public service. Louie's manual gives a fine description of what
to do to get the client-server connection up. That's probably fine if
you're using slip to connect to an existing server that someone else
is already administering, but I don't know of a ready resource for
what to do if you have to setup the server too.
