This is an updated version of Slirp (rendered also as SLiRP but this hurts my eyes), a tool for creating a SLIP, CSLIP or PPP link over a serial port. Slirp can be configured to do this from a shell prompt over standard input and output, or directly to a local serial port.
The version here has all the patches shipped for 1.0.17 plus another for abnormal termination after startup and various build fixes and is correspondingly tagged as "1.0.18." To build, simply go in the src/ directory and configure and make. It is tested on Fedora Linux; macOS compatibility is in progress.
There is copious documentation in docs/.
... unless you have a patch in hand. Bug reports without patches or pull requests may or may not be addressed, ever. Feature requests without patches are subject to closure or deletion.

Slirp is free software; "free" as in you don't have to pay for it, and you
are free to do whatever you want with it. I do not accept any donations,
monetary or otherwise, for Slirp. Instead, I would ask you to pass this
potential donation to your favorite charity. In fact, I encourage
*everyone* who finds Slirp useful to make a small donation to their
favorite charity (for example, GreenPeace). This is not a requirement, but
a suggestion from someone who highly values the service they provide.

This basically means you can do anything you want with the software, except
1) call it your own, and 2) claim warranty on it. There is no warranty for
this software. None. Nada. If you lose a million dollars while using
Slirp, that's your loss not mine. So, ***USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!***.
If these conditions cannot be met due to legal restrictions (E.g. where it
is against the law to give out Software without warranty), you must cease
using the software and delete all copies you have.
