But what the heigh. ;) Not at all! I know a number of FreeBSD boxes being used as routers! They work very well if you don't need to support things like ISDN. The person having SLIP trouble should send me email detailing his problems - I use SLIP every day, and as both client and server, so it should be easy enough to sort him out (but I don't get to read news very often so he should use email).
