That's saying the the interface sl0 isn't configured, which is
not very surprising. As you show below, the sl* interfaces are
used with SLIRP And chances are you are using a "standard" dial-up.

If indeed you are on a regular dial-up type PPP connection to your
ISP then just either comment out that line or just downright
*delete* that line. As near as I can tell the interface definition
is not mandatory - I don't have one but I get my mail just fine.
