Well, this really can't work. To establish a PPP connection you need
ppp-212.tgz. This contains pppd, the program which negotiates line
characteristics and other options with the remote end.

The '-p ppp' option to slattach was really only meant as a hack to get
a PPP interface going, but then additional hand-crafting is needed to
set up the right options...
