I don't think kernel is guilty - I used today bare.i 
and there were the same results :(
It doesn't matter if the second machine is BL2 or BL1 based.

`insmod slip` - there is an additional message in comparison with BL1: 
"SLIP keepalive/linefeed" But no errors/warnings are issued.
`slattach -s 2400 /dev/cua0 &` informs that you should change
/dev/cua0 to /dev/ttyS0 because cua0 is obsolete.

OK, so I did:
====================================
insmod slhc
insmod slip
slattach -s 2400 /dev/ttyS0 &
(also slattach -k keepalive -s 2400 /dev/ttyS0 &)
====================================

but here sth is wrong:

====================================
ifconfig sl0 clark pointopoint lois
====================================
(there is proper /etc/hosts)

because after it, when I run simple`ifconfig`
I get only info about `lo` and nothing about `sl0`.

If I do:
================================================
ifconfig sl0 192.168.1.1 pointopoint 192.168.1.2
================================================

ifconfig instead of:

sl0 Link encap:VJ Serial Line IP

gives me:

sl0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr:7*"00"-26-8*"00"

route add lois/clark issues:
SIOCADDR: No such device

So for me, ifconfig identifies sl0 as somewhat strange 
NIC instead of "Serial Line IP".

Unfortunately, I'm short of free space to install Slack
