on the port. If SLIP is not the default protocol, you must specify SLIP in the

CONNECT/OPEN TELNET
(secure)
Syntax
Description
This command (available to all users) requests a connection to the specified target.
The target can be an Internet address or an Internet host name. Before granting
the connection, the access server checks the protocol enabled on the requested
port. (This command is functionally the same as OPEN/TELNET.)
If a HOST ADDRESS has not been set prior to entering the CONNECT SLIP
command, the access server will determine the address from the first Internet
packet received on the port.
