Well, from that I assume 158.152.72.51 ist your local SLIP address,
158.152.1.65 is that of your SLIP Server. The strange thing here is, why
the route to network 158.152.0.0 is attached to lo0? Did you perhaps an

	ifconfig lo0 addr 158.152.x.y

Don't do that. If you will have a SLIP connection to the outside, leave
your lo0 address at 127.0.0.1, ie.

	ifconfig lo0 addr 127.0.0.1

otherwise the routes (like the one to 158.152.0.0) will be attached to lo0
and will keep packets to other hosts than your SLIP Server from ever leaving
your machine!

Do the following:

	ifconfig lo0 addr 127.0.0.1
	slattach -l 158.152.72.51 -r 158.152.1.65 &

after that your routing table schould look like:

Destination         Gateway             Flags   Ref      Use Metric Iface
default             158.152.1.65        UG        1        0      1 sl0   
158.152.72.51       *                   UH        1       44      0 lo0   
158.152.1.65        *                   UH        1        5      0 sl0   
127.0.0.0           *                   U         1        0      0 lo0   
127.0.0.1           *                   UH        1        0      0 lo0

and everything should work fine, especially you should be able to reach *all*
machines on the net!

> I do use hsmodem. Doesn't modemdev use this (indirectly)? It would be a

No, modemdev is a complete reimplementation of the serial driver for modem1.

Don't ever install hsmodem and modemdev at the same time (that may stop
modem0dev from working)!
