SLIP in itself is symetric, so there really isn't any difference in the two 
end-points' behaviour. The only time there may be differences is during the 
setup phase - one of the hosts may think of itself as a client, i.e., the 
host that should contact the server through a modem. The way to handle this 
is to let the uIP SLIP driver to seem like a modem, and in that way fool 
Windows into believing that it in fact is dialing a server before the actual 
SLIP communication is setup.

That's some kind of NAT daemon, right? Well, if it does do NAT, it absolutely 
*must* to simple IP forwarding/routing. The Windows TCP/IP code is I believe 
BSD based,
