Try CIPE (http://sites.inka.de/~W1011/devel/cipe.html). It's easy to
setup and most distributions have support for it in the kernel (I don't
know about Slackware). There is a version for Win32 too.

Will do... Thanks.

I use Yavipin (http://yavipin.sourceforge.net/). It works quite good. It 
uses the tunnel module from the Linux kernel (2.4.x). If a connection dies 
it will come back automatically. Over a 128kbit line I get a transfer rate 
of 12KB/sec

One of the drawbacks is that Yavipind starts some (user defined) scripts 
that never die, so after some time there will be many zombie processes.
