SLIP/PPP Problems
If the TCP MSS given by the SLIP host exceeds the MTU on the SLIP line, poor
performance, failed connections, and fragmentation occur. Adjust the MTU on the access
server. For more information on configuring and managing SLIP ports, refer to the
Network Access Software Management Guide.
Verify Multisessions - Interactive SLIP Connection Only
If you are unable to connect to a SLIP host, enter the following command. Substitute the

SLIP ports, refer to the Network Access Software Management Guide.
