Slirp, the PPP/SLIP-on-terminal emulator

Slirp emulates a PPP or SLIP connection over a normal terminal. This is an actual PPP or SLIP link, firewalled for people's protection. It makes a quick way to connect your Palm Pilot over the Internet via your Unix or Linux box!!! You don't need to mess around with your /etc/inetd.conf or your /etc/ppp/options on your system.

Slirp works on most Unix platforms, including:

Linux glibc and libc5 systems
Solaris 2.x
OSF/1
or any Unix that can compile GNU autoconf'ed programs with GCC.

Palm Pilot users can use this to connect their PalmOS device to the system and onto the Internet, using their home computer as a host. If you need to raise a temporary link, or can't run pppd, Slirp may help.
