I've emailed the authors and they said they'll think about it.  But I've
come up with a temporary solution.  Write a script that does the
following:

amitcp:amitcp.020
bootpconfig slip IP $HOSTIP DEST $DESTIP
mount TCP: from amitcp:devs/inet-mountlist
run >NIL: <NIL: inetd

This should do it.  The only wrinkle is that you must know what the old
ipnumber and the connection address before you rebooted.  this is the
problem I have.  I want to be able to do it automatically.  If we can
get AmiTCP to store the ip addresses after it established connection in
some environment variable and copy it to ENVARC: then we are set.
