I don't know where the /dev/ttySLO came from. On most systems it would
be /dev/ttyS0, but no matter. To get ppp start at boot you need to
have an entry in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-?? file
that reads: ONBOOT=yes
The ?? in the ifcfg-?? file is to be filled in with the name of your
ppp connection.
