No but there's no netmask specified and, seriously, SLIP?  Good god that
brings back old ancient nightmares.

I remember Novell IPX (old IPX/SPX) had checksums disabled and relied,
instead, on the link layer checksumming for performance reasons.  SLIP
(as opposed to PPP) had no checksumming on the link layer.  What could
possibly go wrong.  I would never use SLIP in production.
