Do you have the kernel option CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP enabled?

I have seen this before, and it seems to involve IP fragmentation.
Check the MTU size on your PPP interface. If it's not 1500, I bet that
is the problem. You can fix this by adding "mtu 1500" to your
/etc/ppp/options file.
Oops... I just noticed, you said you use SLIP, not PPP. Well, hopefully
you know how to change the MTU size on your connection, because I don't. :)
