Any progress on this document? 

Just wondering, I appreciate even the sentiment, and will
wait as long 
as needed. Thanks again.

Thanks.  ;)

There is http://la.c
auseuse.org/hauke/macbsd/slip/ for a start, although
it's not complete: client side and IP routing related
information is
missing.

I still have the i486 notebook laying around on my desk as a
reminder, but
since I am going to spend most of August offline on my
bicycle, there will
be no updates until September.

As listed, depending on the NetBSD version you run,
http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?nu
mber=33923 and
http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?nu
mber=33672
may be interesting.

HTH,
	hauke
