[coLinux-devel] slirp

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

while chatting about network configuration for a coknoppix type distro in
#colinux someone mentioned slirp http://slirp.sourceforge.net/ while slirp
does not compile out of the box on cygwin a patch can be found at
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/3071/2002/8/0/9308943/ I tested slirp
over ssh between 2 linux systems (i don't have a functiong sshd on cygwin
atm and i didn't wan't to do a lot of configuration to find out if it did
what it said on the tin :) ). slirp can be considered as a user-mode nat to
the client it looks like a ppp or slip server to the host it runs on it
looks like a normal network client app

ok now for the crunch

would it be possible/practical to add a feature to colinux to create a
charachtor mode device and link it to a user specified app on the windows
side?
