Hi.

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.
