[lwip-users] does simhost need /dev/net/tun on Linux ?

[j k]

I am a new user of lwip, so forgive.....

I just try to understand how the unixsim demo program is setup 
(simhost), more precisely, in which case the tapif module is 
used/needed; it looks like lot's of things go thru the ppp connection.

Can I  eliminate completely the usage of tapif (and the need of the tun 
module) in simhost in order to still use it as a kind of "simulated 
local-network" connected via the forked ppp (or maybe slip) ?; this 
would be useful on unixes not providing tun/tap but having ppp or slip.
