I've checked the system logs, and I do, indeed, get a bunch of messages:

<snip>  - alot more errors related to "'udp.route'. Not a known udp 
service port"

(I can see that I need to set the FIFO file properly)
After that, I get a bunch of output from modprobe that module tapXX 
can't be found (the ethertap device), and then it loads the SLIP device:

I can see the interface in ifconfig (the tun0 device is from MOL, and my 
fake IP addresses for the interface are 192.168.0.64/65):

If I try to ping an outside IP address, the logs then show:

I'm fairly certain that I have changed the /etc/diald/device.conf file 
to look at /dev/usb/ttyACM0 instead of any /dev/ttyS* devices, but I 
need to check that.  I'm not sure about all the errors, though.
