[snip - oops too much, never mind]

Some versions don't support "ifconfig sl0 up". Try also "status up". 
You should have NOS 0.42.

After logon "ppp sl0" - look at the LCP line. If it says "waiting for 
remote host to open" you've got the problem.

Typing "ppp sl0" after each attempt at fixing will reveal when it 
starts working - the LCP line will change to something which denotes 
the connection has been made.

This also happens with PPP. I read somewhere that the Ascend modems do 
not like VJ compression. I think SLIP uses this ?

The problem seems to be that the Ascend lines are still initialising 
when NOS sends the request for connection so it gets missed, so both 
ends just sit there and eventually the line gets dropped. This is also 
a source of concern for the PC version as well.

Once you have got PPP working, move onto SLIP. I've not tried SLIP 
with NOS myself.

Good luck!
