I'm just taking arbitrary bits, coding them up a bit, and sending them down 
the slip line.  I think what happens in the kernel is that those bits get 
reconstituted and passed into the network code.  I don't see any generality 
problems there.

How is this different from having umn bridged to sl0, and putting the uml 
hosts on the outer net?
