I'm successfully using linux with both TIA and SLiRP on my shell
account.

Are you able to connect to your internet provider at all *AND* start TIA?

Have you configured linux to use the IP address assumed by TIA for your
machine?

Have you configured the correct ip addresses and system names for
your internet provider's gateway system and nameservers?

You did not say when you get the unknown server error, but I presume
it happens *after* you've successly connected, so I'm suspecting a
nameserver or gateway ip address is misconfigured.

Yes, looks like you have SLIP set up in the kernel.

Good luck - email me if you need sample config files or scripts.
