I want to login through a terminal server and telnet into a FreeBSD
machine and run a SLIP or PPP server on it for that connection (ie.
through stdin/stdout).  Assuming I can turn off all the telnet escape
characters for the terminal server, can I get a SLIP/PPP connection
this way?  Do I need to do anything special for the telnet daemon or
the PPP or SLIP server programs, or will it just work?


Thanks.
