There seem to be a lot of people interested in getting a MacTCP/SLIP driver
going (I am one of them). However, there don't seem to be any people 
interested in writing such a thing. (I mean, writing a separate program
that appears like MacTCP, but supports SLIP, since it is apparently not
possible at this time to write a SLIP module for MacTCP itself).

Therefore, a question: how difficult would it be to hack together a
MacTCP/SLIP from the source code to the SLIP modified version of NCSA Telnet?
(Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I know little about UNIX
programming and protocols, heck, I can't even program very well on my Mac!).
Shouldn't most of the needed code for TCP and SLIP be already written in
Telnet? Anyone up to the task?

Just wondering.
