[MiNT] slattach

[MiKRO <miro.kropacek@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I finally solved that damned 1.16.x release SLIP problem, the slattach binary, 
to be concrete. I've got upset about non-sense error message 'cannot link to 
an interface: cannot allocate memory' so I opened qed and found the problem 
(open source rulez ;) -- I can't even believe how it worked in previous 
builds. I attach the diff.

The "funny" thing is my serial link still doesn't work -- slattach doesn't 
complain anymore but the link is dead (that means there's sl0 inet device, 
there are IPs assigned but ping to remote host stops by message: "PING 
192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2): 56 data bytes" -- .2 is the remote host). I use 
modem2 both on my falcon and megaste, on megaste's side there's sting 
running, on the falcon's side there's freemint, 115200 Bds, everything from 
easymint 1.63.

If I use sting on falcon, I can ping each other, if I use slattach under 
freemint, no ping is possible. Is my assumption both sting and mintnet are 
compatible stacks, wrong?

I'll try another speeds / ports, we'll see. If someone got setup like this 
working, I'd like hear how..
