Don't start with flaming if you don't understand the original message!

What he meant, was that the gateway on the _other_ side of the line, ie.
the box in your ISP's office, should be told that it must route packets
for the second machine over the SLIP line. With dynamic SLIP, this is not
very easy. I wrote a quite extensive article about setting up masquerading
with Linux so other boxes on the LAN can go out to the net - this gives
you outbound connections without your ISP having to do anything. I'm 
sure that it still floats around on the net...
