Take a look at SuperTCP 3.0 from Frontier Technologies,
which supports multiple interfaces, and has internal
SLIP support.

Keeping with the excellence of his past traditions, I have
no doubt that this is something that Mr. Tattam will add
to the Trumpet Winsock.

I did it and it works fine ;-). Here comes a rudiment of my autoexec.nos
which will declare the routing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following autoexec works fine with 'nos192' or nos10b, a ka9q-
version compiled by Ashok. You find the actual versions at
biochemistry.cwru.edu in /pub/nos or so.

# =============
# /autoexec.nos
# =============
# name and ip-address of your slipserver
hostname mvmpc31.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de
ip address 129.13.118.31
domain suffix ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de.

# the packetdriver for slip is 'cslipper' from Peter Tattam
attach packet 0x63 sl0 5 1500
# the packetdriver for ethernet is ne2000.com
attach packet 0x60 en0 5 1500

# telnet sessions need many buffers...especially, if
# the mtu-size of the clients is too big (>560).
memory ibufsize 1600
memory nibufs 30

# TCP/IP
ip rtimer 60
ip ttl 50
tcp mss 1436
tcp window 4500

# Routing....
# here comes the routing of our ethernetcard.
# 129.13.118.254 is our local gateway. We have a class C
# net, so we route every ip beginning with 129.13.118.
route add default en0 129.13.118.254
route add 129.13.118.0/24 en0

# Slip-Routing..
# we assign ip 129.13.118.30 to the slip-interface. The users have to
# configure this ip as their 'own ip-address'
route add 129.13.118.30 sl0
# ARP..
# we assign this ip to the hardwareaddress of our ethernetcard
arp publish 129.13.118.30 ether 00:00:c0:0a:0f:65

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't want to give acces to everybody, you need a login-programm.
I wrote such a programm, whith which I can assign a password and a maximum
online-time/day to any user of our slipgate. This programm also watches the
CD-status of the modem, disabling the slipdriver if there is no connect. So we
don't have any problems,  caused by packets, which are send to the modem,
while there is no carrier. Those packets can make an hangup of the the modem
in the connectphase or totally deprgramm it! My login-tool also writes a logfile
with usernames,  date and times of connections. This programm will become
Shareware or PD in the next few weeks.

Hope I could help.

bye,
      Karl-Heinz
