My net config has a slip line from campus to home, with three NetBSD-currentish
machines on the local side.  I was playing with network protocols and used
tcpdump to see what was going on today, and I happened upon some strange (at
least to me) packets:

Now, the real questions is, what the hell are these?  I don't think the
slip iface can route these to me (since it checks for AF_INET and rejects
all others in the code) but I can't see where these would be coming from
if not the slip link.

Anyone else seeing this type of thing?  Kinda scarry.
