SLIP/UNIX Dialup Connection

I need to create a Dialup connection to an OS2 machine running SLIP. In
Windows XP, the networking option to choose a SLIP/UNIX connection was there,
whereby no authentication was required on the server side. However in Vista,
there is only PPP, and I cannot connect to the machine, as I keep getting
rejected while the remote machine checks for authentication. I have installed
UNIX components from the Programs and Features, but it does not help.

Is there any third-party application I can use (for example, I downloaded
Hilgraeve hyperterminal client, as Vista has it removed by default). Its
really important, as I cannot support the older systems this way.

Thanks

hey, have you rsolved this problem? looks like we share the same one and
require SLIP driver for Vista...

Have you solved the problem? Have you found a SLIP driver? I need the SLIP driver for an application that runs on Windows XP right now but looking to make that application available on VISTA.
