It resides as a user process on a UNIX system, and basically opens "proxy" TCP connections using the system calls on the host UNIX system. This is actually quite slick, but isn't horribly complicated or difficult... This means that TIA cannot do certain things. However, it also means that it's easier to configure and use: since the IP addresses involved between the remote SLIP client and TIA don't have to be "perfectly correct", it tends to be easier for newbies to use. And yes, it works under FreeBSD. ...
