+/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
+
+ The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
+ route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
+
+ Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
+ PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
+ when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
+ This isn't very consistent.
+
+ One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
+ but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
+ This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
+
+ [when not running slip]
+ ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
+ [to go to slip]
+ ifconfig dummy down
+ dip whatever
+
+ This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
+ and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
+ apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
+ misguided packets.
+
+ Nick Holloway, 27th May 1994
+ [I tweaked this explanation a little but that's all]
