  If one wanted to add dialup SLIP capability to a network, what is
the minimum set of hardware required? You definitely need a modem,
Telebit TrailBlazer, for example, but after that ... what? A Cisco
router will do the trick, but is there anything less expensive?
Basically, I'd like to be able to attach a modem to the phone line,
the modem to a piece of hardware, the hardware to the Ethernet, and,
with a minimum of configuration, be able to dial into that modem and
establish a SLIP connection. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks, in advance!
