I think, Dave, that Dean's looking for a *SLIP* connection for his own box
(not just a user-account on an Inet-connected machine).  It looks to me like
you're offering him a user-account...

Dean, check out the "term" package (a user-level MUX/DeMUX for simultaneous
SLIP-like activity through a single user-account login).  It was originally
intended for use with Linux, but it may be portable enough to work for you.
So far, it's got the capability to run multiple shell sessions in both 
directions, a modified ftp client that's transparent to the user, and some
have even managed to get X Windows and NNTP to work across the thing!
(...something about re-directing ports... I dunno.)

To follow its development, send E-mail to

	linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi

with the very first line of the message being

	X-Mn-Admin: join term

Good luck, and have fun.

P.S.:  Will someone who knows anything about the old "Tandy 6000" *please*
	e-mail me?  I've got the hardware, but no manuals and no diskettes.
