Yes, it does!
I found that I can't have both: a local en0 ethernet interface AND -NXHost  
over SLIP. Only either or. Someone once told me that is because Mach routes  
the -NXHost packets always to the ethernet interface. I don't understand what  
is going on, just my experience says: 
EITHER en0 OR -NXHost over SLIP, but not both.

I would really like to hear if s.o. actually succeeded to do both at the same  
time: use -NXHost over SLIP and also use, say telnet, over the ethernet (en0)  
interface of the same machine.
