SLIP Dies and Goes Away ...

I'm using the Dell SVR4 Issue 2.2 SLIP package with a 14.4K modem to
IP-connect to a remote machine. After slipdialout -v  yields
connection and login, the following happens; what am I omitting or
doing wrong?

SLIP IS ACTIVE               [Remote machine prints this; I push the
                             Escape key]                                  

Start SLIP y/n?              [After local machine prints the prompt, I
                             type y and CR]

                call Esc(y)  [Local machine thinks I have entered
call _mode(0)                Escape-y, calls routine]

[Now in limbo; no prompt; typed characters echo; either Escape-n or
Cntrl-z will break the connection.]

Kindly email. Thanks much!  --George
