What is the proper way to set up routing for a SLIP link on a Class C
network.  Suppose the network number is 192.33.20 and the SLIP link is
between a SLIP server at 192.33.20.201 and a SLIP client at
192.33.20.202.  Also suppose that the server has an ethernet
interface at address 192.33.20.4 and can talk to a gateway at
192.33.20.1 to get to the outside world over that interface.

What should the routes be on the SLIP server and client machines so
that traffic from the client can pass to the ethernet side and beyond
of the server machine?

Do I need to setup a netmask? and if so what would be
reasonable in this case?

Thanks in advance.
