I just installed 2.0R last night, and it works great using the additions to
/etc/netstart *'d below. The link gets started correctly on reboot, and it
redails if the link is lost w/out any intervention. Note, slattach needs
to happen before the ifconfig line (at least it was required in 1.1.5)
I'm actually very pleased with the way this works, and when I switch to
PPP most of this stuff will go with.

I wasn't able to get kermit to work, but this script (used in slattach above)
works great for me.

sleep 10
