No, but with this (SLIP over ssh). computera# slattach /dev/ptyp39 # unused pty/ttyp, choose high value computera# ifconfig sl0 192.168.4.1 # assuming sl0 was free before computera# route add 192.168.4.2 dev sl0 as I said, maybe needs a ``route add 192.168.4.1'' if you have a default route of some sort. computera% ssh < /dev/ttyp39 > /dev/ttyp39 computerb -t -l root 'slattach `tty`' computera% ssh computerb -l root 'ifconfig sl0 192.168.4.2; route add 192.168.4.1 dev sl0' The principle of the above is that a SLIP connection can only happen provided slattach is run on a tty (ie with SLIP line discipline: serial port or pseudo-tty). Note that this is suboptimal, especially if you start to loose packets, since retransmits may well be triggered at the TCP level of the underlying transport at the same time as the upper level, leading to additional packet loss, retransmits, etc.
