I, likewise, have run into the same problem. I even tried the following
lines from the config.tel file that 2.2D uses to no avail.
interrupt=4 # COM1
address=6 # SLIP
ioaddr=0x60 # packet driver int vector
Looks like its back to 2.2D for the time being...

NCSA 2.3 doesn't seem to support SLIP over a packet driver. If you look at the packet driver trace, you'll see that it tries to open an IP handle and an ARP handle. The implication is that the SLIP8250 driver is being treated as an Ethernet driver. Who do I report this to?
