Or is it t= he > same code I used in college 20 years ago? You mean proxying the dosemu's IPv4 packets by the use of IPv6? May be interesting for the future, but IMHO IPv4 is not going to disappear any time soon so why do we care at that stage. My concern is also why there is no slirp packages in most distros including fedora it seems. Very few mentioning in google, not to say no docs - pure nothing, or at least nothing googlable. Last release like 10 years ago etc... This makes me really sceptical, may became a maintenance burden.
