Without Van Jacobson's TCP header compression for SLIP (or, rather, PPP),
its not very worthwhile to run a X terminal over a 9.6 or 19.2 SLIP link.
The results are very poor.  In this case, a GraphOn using their proprietary
serial protocol (with the X server actually running on a remote host) works
better at 9600bps then either NCD or Visual using SLIP at 19.2kpbs.
