that is how ISC's 2.21 works - the port can be shared with SLIP,
along with normal UUCP, shell and BBS users - but the problem with ISC
is that it only supports on SLIP connection at any given time - 

On the other hand, we have Dell SVR4 here - and it supports up to 
16 concurrent SLIP connections at any one time - but we haven't tried
it (as of yet).
