NOTE: This is a BETA release!  There WILL be bugs, so don't put your whole
organisation's IP connectivity through it! (yet) :)

What is SLiRP?
--------------

SLiRP is a TCP/IP emulator over the (C)SLIP/PPP link-level protocols,  which
allows a normal user with a shell account on a UNIX system to act like a
(C)SLIP/PPP account.


Changes since version 0.95h
---------------------------
Version 0.95j BETA (19/11/95)

- Fixed a problem with --disable-ppp, thanks to Lynn Larrow
  <llarrow@netcom.com>.
- Ooops!  Forgot to uncomment a peice of code used in rlogin emulation.
  Rlogin should work properly now.
- Added emulation for "ping".  Pinging the remote host will work properly
  all the time (if slirp is actually working), but pinging other host may
  not work even if the host is up.  This is because slirp uses UDP to
  "emulate" ping, not real ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packets which ping uses.
- Lots of minor fixes thanks to Juha Pirkola.

Version 0.95i BETA (16/11/95)

- "Fixed" a problem with WNOHANG not being defined on OSF/1 systems,
  although it's not really fixed, thanks to Jeff Skone
  <jeffs@u.washington.edu>.
- Fixed a redefinition error when net/if.h was #included, thanks to gruppo
  progetto -cds <progetto@ds.cised.unina.it>.
- Fixed compilation on NeXT systems, thanks to Tomas Hurka
  <tom@hukatronic.cz>.
- Made chap and upap files ~/.chap-secrets and ~/.pap-secrets respectivaly.
- Fixed a problem with sending a window of 0 on a SYN-ACK packet, which
  would cause problems with some TCP/IP stacks with certain programs (eg:
  Trumpet Winsock and mIRC)  Thanks to Bjorn Eng <Bjorn.T.Eng@jpl.nasa.gov>
  for helping me find this problem.
- Updated to ppp-2.2-RELEASE PPP code.
- Added preliminary patches for better load-balancing support when the
  modems are not connected at the same speed.  These will be finished when I
  am able to get access to a second modem/ph. line.  #define FULL_BOLT in
  config.h if you wish to test it.
- Added support for rlogin. (rsh and rexec may come soon)
- Hopefully fixed the small-packet-syndrome once and for all!
- Lots of other minor fixes.
