Yes, you can use any private address that you aren't using for anything 
else - e.g. 192.168.200.1 at the sending end, 192.168.200.2 at the 
receiving end.  SLIP is very simple and you have to manually assign 
these addresses:

# *slattach /dev/ttyS0 &
# **ifconfig sl0 192.168.200.1 pointopoint 192.168.200.2**

*(or something like that).

If you want them to be dynamic you should use PPP but I'm guessing that's probably overkill here.

Yes, you just tell the Live555 RTP sender to send it to 
192.168.200.2:11111 (or whatever port).
