There appear to be several ways to start a SL/IP connection. Any
particular reason slattach is prefered over startslip or sliplogin?

I've never used slipstart or sliplogin. I was familiar with slattach
and decided to modify it.
I'm not clear how you would use sliplogin or slipstart in this application.
I think both of these processes are meant to use with modem control
signals, which you wouldn't have on a pty. There may be a way, but I
didn't research it at all.
Slattach, on the other hand, just attaches a serial port as a network
device and doesn't require any modem control signals or log-ins,
so it seemed the most natural in this application.
