rsh and slirp

Hey! I'm back with a maybe strange question for those who are in age 35+ (ahem, well primariliy to those a little more older then that). Have you used slirp on real machines to connect the Internet via pppd?

And if yes, did you for instance do something like the following?

 tar cf - myfiles* | rsh somehost tar xf -

Am I the only one who remembers doing this? Or did you immediately start with ssh, and never used rsh because of the well known reasons? Or were you the lucky ones who didn't have to use slirp because you had the network access from your home? :-)

Last week I started kinda neozeed style experiment, and hope to have something to share soon.

/Stay tuned
