Dear All,
  My FreeBSD box has a slip connection via sl0 to a standalone machine running 
SCO Unix and an ethernet connection via ep0 to the rest of the world, using
a corporate router. Having setup the system such that the IP for the
slip interface is different from that of the ethernet one, I can't seem
to get the standalone machine to connect to the outside world via the
slip connection. After trying various changes to the routing table and
ifconfig options, the setup doesn't seem to work.
  Does anyone know what to do to make the setup work? 
  Thanks.
