SCO TCP/IP for Xenix supports SLIP.  It works; I've used it.  However,
be warned: SCO SLIP works *only* with SCO serial drivers, so it will
*not* work with intelligent boards that come with their own drivers.
If you want lots of SLIP ports, you'll need lots of dumb ports,
perhaps with a multi-dumb-port board such as the one sold by Arnet.
