I'm seriously considering implementing the SLIP protocol in order to
generate UDP packets for a Linux box from a 16F84.  Has anyone done this
yet who would be able to share some code?

I have previously implemented SLIP (UDP rx, IP tx/rx, ICMP echo) in
FORTH on a Tandy 102 80C85 32k.

I had thought of using PPP, but I can't imagine all that protocol
negotiation at the start of the connection is worth the effort.  SLIP is
very simple by comparison; just the IP packet encapsulated in a simple
escape protocol.
