Here is what happens when you try to enter it manually:

netblazer:Top>Configure>IP> vj pppinterface
pppinterface is a PPP interface, the vj command is for SLIP

Oh well. Maybe this is a feature is some later version of the software.
The version I have is 1.00x0.

I will try it under slip in a bit and let folks know what I find.

[I guess I really should just make one big article of everything I figure out.
I don't know if this blow by blow bit is helpful... If you have a contructive
opinion, drop me a line. Send flames to /dev/null.]
