- Yes, it does!
- I found that I can't have both: a local en0 ethernet interface AND -NXHost
- over SLIP. Only either or. Someone once told me that is because Mach routes
- the -NXHost packets always to the ethernet interface. I don't understand what
- is going on, just my experience says:
- EITHER en0 OR -NXHost over SLIP, but not both.
-
- I would really like to hear if s.o. actually succeeded to do both at the same
- time: use -NXHost over SLIP and also use, say telnet, over the ethernet (en0)
- interface of the same machine.
