the box that slip's into you should add a default route - 

route add default 202.14.100.1

when they slip in, the slip link will add a static route for your
host, by default.  The slip link implies a route to your machine,
but not to any - the default route will do what you require.

If you want some more detailed information on routing, give me
a yell and I'll be only to happy to help.  We have a similar
situation here, APANIX is a public access unix site here
in Adelaide - my host at home is permanently slipp'ed in, and I have
no problems accessing the other sites connected to APANIX.

Cheers
