SLiRP Project Needs Maintainer
Karl A. Krueger hopes someone might be interested in following up on this bit of info: "SLiRP is a program by Daniel Gasparovski which lets you emulate a SLIP or PPP connection over a shell dial-up connection. In other words, it's a PPP "driver" that runs entirely as a user process. Unfortunately the last official release was in 1996, and the author is apparently no longer interested in maintaining it. The license is somewhere between BSD (requires attribution) and GPL (requires freedom). I've made a few minor fixes to it so that it compiles and runs under a modern system (Debian 2.1 -- should work under others as well) but there's quite a bit that could be done with it if someone wanted to actually maintain the thing. Anyone interested? In any event, my patched version is here. " -
