You did run the /usr/dialupip/config/rc.slip script as root, or had it
invoked at boot time from /etc/rc.local, right?  The invocation of
/usr/dialupip/bin/tcldiald the first time will cause the kernel driver
to be loaded.

Ensure that the loadable kernel driver actually got loaded.  Look at
the syslog messages in /usr/adm/message and /usr/dialupip/log/syslog.
Also, ensure that you have not deleted /usr/lib/libkernload.a which is
needed to relocate and load kernel drivers.
