I'm working on the same issue, although I'm leaning toward PPP. If I
get it ported, I'd be glad to send you a copy/mods to the BSD code,
etc. If you do it first, PLEASE tell me what you did...

The AT&T Enhanced TCP/IP WIN/3B has pretty good Berkeley compatibility
routines in it as delivered. The real issue is one of linking the
module into the Sys V kernel. I haven't tried this yet. I have seen
SLIP implementations that seem to run as a user (as opposed to kernel)
process, and if at all possible, I'm going to try to bring one of
these up first, as I expect it'll be considerably easier.

Thanks...
