I finally set up SLIP using TIA as required from my internet host
provider. My modem connects, but when I try to use FTP from my local
prompt I get a message about host unavailable. Could this be a problem
with my host and nameserver addresses?

Yes. Your Net provders name and address needs to be in your
/etc/hosts file. Then, define your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, like
this: nameserver XXX.XXX.XX.XX Where Xs are your providers address.
(Some providers have a different address for nameservice, ask them)
Finally, your /etc/host.conf needs to look like this:
order hosts,bind
multi on
That should do it.
