Don't actually know anything about Slirp, except that when setting up 
Basilisk way back it got in the way of it connecting to my physical 
network resources and incoming connections (IIRC, the control panel to 
the old version talked about virtual NAT, which makes some sense).  This 
thread got me thinking about the alternate tun/tap interface on Linux 
and OS X.  Never got it working myself, but google'd it and came up with 
http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8067, which seems 
to have it set up automatically for OS X Mountain Lion (wired connection 
only).  Although the headline talks about AppleTalk, reading further it 
appears that TCP/IP works through it fine.

Hope that helps,
