I've heard that. But I haven't seen the SA. Does the SA or Nosei Kelim
there mention KOM as a voluntary oblligation? What happens if he or she
refuses? Do we let them go? 
 
If one captures a slave, is he not automatically given the status of a
woman vis-a-vis Mitzvah obligation? This is what I aways assumed when
learning those sugyos in the Gemarah dealing with Avosdim. 
 
I can't imagine first asking a slave if he will be Mekabel the Ol Mitzvos
 just before we capture him. I thought capturing him made him
automatically obligated -  whther he or she likes it or not.
 
But since I am not familiar with Hilchos Avodim - and you seem to be...
please enlighten.
