Subject: telnet hangs over slip to freebsd boxes?

I'm having a strange problem with telnet/rlogin/ftp from a freebsd box
that has to dial up via slip or ppp.  Any telnet/ftp/rlogins hang up
after the initial socket connection is made to another freebsd box
that I have set up with ethernet nics.  

I can ping them, and they reply, but telnet's get as far as making the
connection (which I can see via netstat) but after it tells me that
the escape character is ^] I don't see the login: prompt, nor do any
characters I type get sent over the modem line.  I don't see the rd/sd
lights blink when I hit keys.  However, after a period of time the
connection is closed by the remote host (I'm assuming because of a
timeout).

I can telnet to these freebsd machines when I run linux on the dialup
machine.  When I'm in freebsd I can telnet to a sun, and get to the
ethernet'd freebsd boxes indirectly.  I can telnet/ftp/rlogin fine
to/from other freebsd boxes that are connected via ethernet, so I'm
thinking that something is not right with my machine that must access
through dialup.

The machines are running 2.1R.  Thanks in advance for any help.
