Do Trailblazers work well with SLIP?
What modems should I use for 9600 Baud SLIP?

I have been told that because TCP sends acknowledgments for every packet,
that Trailblazers don't work well, as they are designed for large traffic
flows in a single direction for longer periods. With SLIP they spend alot of
the time working out that they have to change direction. There is presumably
also some overhead in doing error correction, which should be handled by the
TCP layer?

I believe I have missed some discussion of this topic in this group. Apologies.
We do not archive news groups.

Any suggestions or opinions greatly appreciated.
