Anyone out there know anything about this? And what it would take for a Linux
system to communicate with it? As I understand it, using SLIP isn't possible
in my situation, because SLIP requires that the dialin modem be dedicated to
SLIP.

It is DIP which needs a modem.

SLIP dosn't care how the serial data gets from one serial port to the other.

Furthermore, this modem does _not_ (I repeat _not_) have to be dedicated.
U just give the user for SLIP a login shell like dip -i and as soon as this
user logs in it will be dropped into SLIP. If the user logs out the serial
port is available again for uucp, dialin etc.
