- What he meant, was that the gateway on the _other_ side of the line, ie.
- the box in your ISP's office, should be told that it must route packets
- for the second machine over the SLIP line. With dynamic SLIP, this is not
- very easy. I wrote a quite extensive article about setting up masquerading
- with Linux so other boxes on the LAN can go out to the net - this gives
- you outbound connections without your ISP having to do anything. I'm
- sure that it still floats around on the net...
