I'm not terriably interested in multiple loopbacks, but you did say something
which interests me:

Ultrix 4.x and 386bsd, in the same sentance!

I tried to port the ppp-1.2.tar package to Ultrix 4.2a, but all I discovered
is that I'm far to out of my league on this one.

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:

my machine (modem) --> (modem) term server (ethernet, telnet) -> Ultrix 4.2a

Or I need to pay for a dedicated line, which is not cheap.
