Local System: ______________ Remote System: _____________

______________ _____________

______________ _____________

______________ _____________

The SLIP interface number should match the tty device number. For example, /dev/tty53 should be used with sl53.
Is SLIP being configured through SMIT or with commands? SLIP configurations using commands are not permanent and are not present after a system reboot.
