Turn off the RFC 1323 and 1644 TCP extensions.  It sounds like your SLIP
or PPP line can't handle them (you're provider's terminal server is
broken).  From /etc/netstart:

#
# XXX This is known to cause an error if /usr is nfs mounted since it
# will not be avaliable until after the network is up :-(.  Once the
# relocation of sysctl to /sbin is done that problem will go away.
#
if [ -n "$tcp_extensions" -a "x$tcp_extensions" = "xNO" ] ; then
        sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0
        sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0
fi
