Ahh, the wonderfull world of DNS.
What is *probably* happening is that telnet daemon is trying to
do a reverse-lookup on the IP address you are coming in from. I.E.
if you telnet to your box from 10.1.1.20, telnet trys to find out
what hostname is associated with 10.1.1.20.
One way to stop this is to make sure all your machines are in the /etc/hosts
file on the diald machine.
If you want to debug it in more detail, use tcpdump on the slip interface
(although you'll only see the outgoing packets). I.E.
/usr/sbin/tcpdump -vv -s512 -i sl0
(-vv for verbose, -s 512 to catch 512 bytes of the message, -i sl0 to
listen on the slip interface).
You could add 'port domain' if you just want to see dns lookups.
Tcpdump is your friend.
Have fun.
