- The Esix slip is not that much use for a point-to-point setup as it requires
- three totally separate network addresses. I wanted to connect my machine
- (158.152.8.12) to a gateway machine (158.152.1.65) and the Esix slip cannot
- do this. This came from Esix tech support BTW.
-
- I am also beta testing Marc's port and it has worked perfectly.
