Setting up a dial-in SLIP connection to a DECserver 700

Sadly enough, no one has offered a hint of help. I have managed to blunder
through this on my own and I have it up and working with one exception.
When a telnet session is active, I'm receiving an unsolicated packet from
the telnet host that is only 59 bytes long. The slip host is rejecting it
as an unacceptable segment, which is fine, but I need to find out why my
host is sending the packet to begin with.

The problem is that as long as I'm receiving these bogus packets, neither
TRUMPET or the DS700 will kill the circuit due to inactivity.

Any ideas?!?!
