   Is there any hope that slip or cslip will be available sometime in the
   near future, ... ?

The best chance is for HP-UX 8.0.  I'm not in a kernel or networking
division, so I don't know the exact plans, but 8.0 includes entirely
new networking code in the kernel, and part of that work is an
extensible async protocol tweak.  Will it be ready for 8.0?  Good
question, and I don't know the answer.
