I recently installed the cslip-beta code on a Sun 4/330 running SunOS 4.0.3.
The SUN is connected to a PC running KA9Q with the serial port configured
for SLIP.  These two machines previously had no trouble talking to each other
when plain SLIP was running on the SUN.  But with CSLIP on the SUN (and nothing
changed on the PC), a telnet or ftp connection from either machine to the 
other results only in a 'connection established' message and nothing more.
However, I have no problems pinging either machine from the other.  

Is there some switch that needs to be set in NOS so that it will handle CSLIP?

Looking at the source code for slattach.c I noticed there were some flags that
could be set to disable compression so I tried those too.  Unfortunately, I
got the same results - ping works, but no telnet and no ftp beyond the initial
'connection established' message.

Anyone got any clues as to what I might be doing wrong here?
