8.2: What does "resource allocation failure" mean?

(Thanks Oliver) 
This means your particular SANA-II Driver (RHCSlip, GWCSlip, Slip, PPP)
cannot fire itself up; this can often be due to an error in your
configuration file (usually in (env|envarc):sana2 ... slip0.config or
ppp0.config or similar) or may be that some resource on which the driver
relies (e.g. serial.device) is missing, wrongly configured or not working.
With GWCSlip this is usually because you've omitted something like the
"DialScript=AmiTCP:DB/DialScript" parameter.
