First of all, your machines on the ethernet will not be able to be seen
by the Internet unless your provider is routing for those IP addresses
down your SLIP link to your Linux. If they will not do this, then you
could use IP-masquerading on that machine and use fake IP addresses for
the other machines on your ethernet. Also, you will have to turn
IP-FORWARDING on in your Linux machine with the SLIP link for either to
work.
Good luck,
