I also use slirp for telnet/ftp access. You simply use a comm
package that allows you to quit without hanging up the line. I use
Seyon to dial into the University HPUX system from my FreeBSD
box and then login:,password:, shell prompt %slirp and then exit
Seyon without hanging up the modem line. Then on my home
FreeBSD system I run the following suid root shell script ( I know, I
know suid script's are a "Bad Thing" Tm. ;)
#!/bin/sh
slattach -a -h -s 38400 /dev/cua01
ifconfig sl0 inet my.fake.ip university.ip.addr netmask 255.255.255.0
route delete default
route add default university.ip.addr
I also had to configure named with the following entry in the /etc/named.boot
file to get outside name lookup to work.
cache . root.cache
forwarders university.nameserver.ip_addr
slave
This might not be the best solution but it works for me. :)

P.S. Have you gotten ftp to work with slirp and Trumpet Winsock?
slirp:ftp works fine with FreeBSD but I've never been able to get it
to work right with Trumpet.
