Not having SLIP or any knowledge about it, I would like to know the following: Would it be possible to run SLIP trough a so called terminal server ? Most terminal servers run Telnet (MI NTS 100, Bridge CS100, UB NIU 180, Spider etc.) To do SLIP trough over an incoming telnet connection, it would have to run over an arbitrary pty.

A more reasonable use of a terminal server would be for it to support
SLIP directly. Cisco does that. It's fairly easy, so I would think
others would as well. It seems a bit odd to take a SLIP connection,
which after all is IP packets, encapulate it in TCP/IP again, and then
send it through a Unix pty on its way to a final SLIP interpreter.
Yuck.
