Another person and I recently set up a slip network. After evaluating
modems we settled on telebit t2500s. The v32 performance is excellent,
and slip works well with them. Surprisingly, slip works well in pep
mode between 2 2500s also. The interactive feel for telnet and rlogin
isn't bad, and the ftp performance kicks *ss. V32 mode really wins
when you have more than one thing going on over the line at a time.
