Or by statically configuring SLIP (which forced tty = net), or maybe
by dynamically configuring PPP. The tty = net hack went away with
old-bus, so SLIP is broken in much the same way as PLIP.

Possible quick fix (hack): change all the spltty()'s in lpt.c to
splnet()'s. lpt isn't a tty driver; it just abuses spltty(). Abusing
splnet() instead should work OK for lpt and fix if_plip.
