tty was picked (see isa_compat.h). Also, support for the hack of setting net_imask = tty_imask if slip is configured went away, so slip now has the same problems as plip. I think most of these problems can be avoided by configuring (kernel) ppp. ppp sets net_imask >= tty_imask, which is sufficient provided slip and plip call splimp() as required. Only cases where the masks change significantly after ppp is initialised are necessarily broken.
