 Well there is several solutions to that. You could always take the 
 hard disk out of the Atari and install in the 486 machine but this
 would cripple a great machine.
 
 We had a simular sort of think here where we wrote a serial server
 for the megas. However it was not perfect and tended to be a bit
 unreliable. 
 
 There is several other systems tried ka9q for slip? you could batch
 the slip requests ?
