I don't recall any problems getting it to compile out-of-the-box. The
only issue is that there is a bug in 2.0/2.0.1 (supposedly fixed in 2.1,
I haven't checked) that can panic the system with a "trap type 12".
On a completely different note, does anybody have any ideas on how to
"break" a BSD/OS 2.x system so that SLiRP (and TIA, and MLINK, etc.)
won't do anything useful, while the rest of the system functions nor-
mally? I have a student system and modem pool that's being tied up by
people dialing in and running these utilities. We're not an ISP and we
don't want to have to buy more modems or restrict shell access to the
BSDI boxes.
