Slip worked fine for me until 1.6.

Please share some steps that are as simple as ...

  slattach -l -h -s 115200 /dev/tty01
  ifconfig sl0 192.168.10.10 192.168.10.11

... but using ppp instead and without any configuration files adjusted.

I have only used PPP with ppp daemon for providing modem dial in and for
dialing out. And I'd like to learn more about using it as a slip
replacement.

Thank you,
