    Depending on whom I ask, I get conflicting answers on whether I can
    use a cisco terminal server or a cisco gateway to access another
    network using SLIP.

    Is anyone actually connecting two full networks running SLIP on a
    cisco terminal server or gateway? If so, how are you doing it?


The official word from cisco is that it doesn't work.  It can be made
to work on the "trouter" combination router/terminal server (two
interfaces, 16 terminal lines), but the terminal server code is only
capable of associating a single IP address with each async line, and
te IP destination of the packets has to match that for the packet to
get forwarded to SLIP...
