Actually, the setup at Uniforum (the recent show here in Boston)
was the same as at the Baltimore USENIX terminal room.  The link
was over a pair of T2500s, using V.32 at 9600bps (i.e., not PEP).
Over this, Van Jacobson's TCP header compression SLIP was run btwn
a Sun3/60 at the show and an Annex-II terminal server at BB&N.
The only differences from Baltimore were that (1) the Annex was at
the remote end and (2) the whole network was advertised to the Internet,
not just a bunch of terminals.
