I use FAS here under ISC 2.2 with no problems.  Also, my Computone
Atvantage card handles the slip with no problems.  I was thinking of
using the public domain slip that was posted about a year or so ago as
a second slip.  It should work.  If anyone from Latchman is listening
I would like to hear from them.  They have some pretty interesting
things in their includes that ISC doesn't.  Almost looks as if 
they are all set up for more than one slip, just needs to be enabled. 


BTW...How did you ever make out with that host table request you had?
Did the gettable suggestion I made work out for you?
