I haven't done this in a really long time, but I don't remember
needing cu when using 2 directly attached machines over a null modem.
Just slattach. Maybe that changed.

I also seem to recall using a /30 and a netmask for both ends. Your
addresses don't belong to the same /30. Try using .1 and .2 or .5 and
.6.

Just stuff to try. I can't say that this info is useful 20 years later.
