What update level are you running?  The "needs a dialstring" bug should have  
been fixed by now.  I reported it (for a customer) before I left level 2.   
Also, I never had a problem with just doing: "slattach <tty> <speed>" from the  
command line... Are you sure you have the tty listed in the  
"/usr/lib/uucp/Devices" file (as required by the missing documentation).  

Try this.. add the following line to the "/usr/lib/uucp/Devices" file:

Direct tty2 - Any direct

See if that keeps you from getting an error on the slattach.
