It should work. At least firewalling and aliasing works. Are you sure
you compiled the IP masquerading in, and loaded the module, if you
compiled it as a module?

If you're running a 2.1 kernel, or have applied a "module" patch (which
you have done), sl0 is not a radio device, it's a SLIP device. KISS
devices are ax0, ax1, etc... NET/ROM devices are nr*, and Rose devices are
rs*. Remember to turn on "Radio Network Devices" and KISS TNC support in
the network devices section of the kernel configuration.
