It's been a while I used UML, but slirp is what allowed me to run
UML on a machine at work where I only had normal user access, and do
root-only things like running Wireshark (then called Ethereal ;-), and
install and run apps that were not available on the physical machine.
Do the newer networking options support using networking on a machine
where you do not have root access?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
