Can you configure a portmaster port to use SLIP all the time? When
connecting two machines via a dedicated null-modem link SLIP is easiest as
one end can be rebooted without affecting the other.
Otherwise just set them up with a PPP chatscript that does:
"" RING
ATA "CONNECT 115200"
then the usual logon stuff.
