SLIP peer-to-peer in FC2

[bugler at teuton.org]

I'm trying to connect two computers using SLIP.  I'm running FC2 as the host. 
(The client happens to be on BusyBox).

Here's what's happeneing in FC2:

$ su
Password:
# slattach -p slip -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0 &
[1] 3884
# bash: slattach: command not found
 
[1]+  Exit 127                slattach -p slip -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0
#

Searching the web, it looks like slip isn't loaded and I need to do a kernel
compile.  YIKES!  Anybody know a simpler way... I'm a bit of a newbie.  I looked
to try to find slip.ko so I could do an insmod -- but all I found was slip.h.

Anybody know an easy way to do this?

Peace,
Gabriel
