Hi Jim - I also am interested in this - it appears to be a limit in
the AT&T product.  Both Interactive release 3.2 and Intel release 4.0
limit SL/IP connections to one at a time -

What we would like to do here on nstar - is have a dedicated SL/IP
connection going into the internet - and allow various sites to SL/IP
into nstar to FTP and TELNET from their machines through nstar.

Right now, the limits of one SL/IP at a time create problems - maybe
I could get another machine, network it into nstar - and then have
another SL/IP session on the second machine?

Also - what kind of luck have you had with SL/IP on smart ports?  I
can't seem to get the Computone Intelliport to correctly handle the
SL/IP connection - while the stock Interactive tty00 driver on COM1
works fine (but then we all are aware of the problems with the
stock driver - I wonder of FAS207 will work with SL/IP)..
