You could try a later busybox.  http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl has three 
choices of busybox 1.3.2 which I compiled myself at least 7 years ago. 
The smaller ones I think include fewer commands.

I had some version of BL working on a 386 laptop once but not online.

A search finds that many people have had illegal instruction problems with 
busybox commands.  In one case where ifconfig did not work, a later 
version helped.

Have you tried using Slackware 4 ifconfig, route, ping, etc.?
