I forgot to handle packets being routed from the outside world
towards the client (mostly because I tend to set up most nodes
to be invisible to the outside world for security reasons).

Anyway, credit where due... Here is the additional information as
provided to me:

I had about four people mail me and say "where should it be then?".
My newsgroups file says:
	comp.protocols.tcp-ip		TCP and IP protocols.
Thus, my off the cuff comment questioning whether the setup of SLIP
routing really fits into a discussion of protocols. Personally I don't
care where people post anyway.
