As far as I can tell (and I have read through the *whole* archive), 
the question has been asked several times, but never answered very 
fully. I see that there was a discussion of SLIP and serial device 
config problems in March of this year. The one thing I don't see there 
  is a correct command to set up the correct serial device (scif0?). I 
can figure out SLIP myself once the hardware is ready.

Sorry if I've missed something.
