This doesn't affect me, as I don't use SLIP, but would it be
reasonable to install slirp on the system so slip could be done
through the shell? Are there users for whom PPP is not easily set up
on their systems? Slirp was taken out of the userbin a while ago when
pricing for shells became the same as for ppp. If I recall, slirp has
been abandoned by its author and has not been supported for some time.
