What I have done which seems OK (not perfect) is :

Machine A (Linux) ---- Machine B (Linux) ---- Machine C (DOS)

These three are ethernet connected. Each with a single ethernet address on
the same net as the SLIP gateway. 

On A and B I have 3 static routes for A,B and C, i.e.  no -net entries
for /sbin/route commands in your rc.inet1.

The only thing that still doesn't work is that B and C can't access the world
when A slips to the gateway. All local connectivity remains and A has full 
world connectivity while SLIP connected to the gateway.
