Oh alright, I've dialled in long distance!

Looking at the following log, there aren't any problems ...

You must be doing *something* wrong. You need Nos 0.42 or POPNOS 
(which the above is) and you need to type in the magic words

ifconfig sl0 up
          ^\
          L \
             \
             zero

about 10 secs after seeing the motd, and that's about it.
