Welcome to the club! Only I've been waiting more like *4 MONTHS* for
an answer. What I want to do is:


MACHINE A --> dialup SLIP --\   
                            
MACHINE B --> dialup SLIP ---> SCO XENIX BOX <-- dialup SLIP --> JvNCnet
                            
MACHINE C --> dialup SLIP --/

In other words, I want to allow sub-SLIP sites the capability of
dialup capabilities into an SCO box (sometimes simulatenously) which
will be connected to the Internet via a dialup-SLIP connection.

I asked, to no avail. My question was supposedly referred to the sales
department, but I never heard back.

I would be interested in seeing this script too.
