I also have need to make (1) slip or (2) ppp run through a pty. Why? We have
all our modems connected to terminal servers. I was planning on something
like this:
the BSD4.3 code thinks you can't run slip through a pty.
this apparently is not true, according to a local wizard.
its a one line fix to make the switch to SLIPDISC to work...
not sure exactlyy, but i think this would be in tty_pty.c
any ideas?

(btw-eichin@athena.mit.edu was the one who explained it to me.
i'm currently hacking a bsd4.3 vax to dtrt. they have
already shown it to work...)
