Okay, so here's my problem:
The machine you see this message coming from (solutions.solon.com) is
supposed to be net address 192.129.84.3, as well as 199.199.120.161.  The
192.129.84.x addresses are my class C license.
My home machine (taniemarie.solon.com) is 192.129.84.133.  My other home
machines are connected by ethernet as 192.129.84.42 and 192.129.84.69.

So, here's my problem:
If I connect slip from xxx.133 to xxx.3, I can't talk to the remote machine.
Why?  Because everything assumes the slip interface is irrelevant, after all,
we have a local ethernet card which talks to 192.129.84.*.

How do I configure things so that two hosts are reached through ethernet,
say, and at least one is reached through slip, even though they're in the
same network?  Help!
