What version of OS do you use ? In 3003, I had a same problem. In my case, When I type "slattach tty0" on two machines connected with TB2500, it seem goes OK, then I try "ping", there is no answer. And then, I got a message from console, "slattach: tty0 connection closed." So, I ported tahoe code "slattach". It works fine. But I can not use dial up. If you don't need to dial up, please try it. Thank you for reading my funny english. m-hirano@sra.co.jp Software Research Associates, Inc.
