As of this time, all three freeware TCP/IPs (KA9Q, NCSA and PC-IP) support
SLIP in some way.  KA9Q and PC-IP both have direct SLIP drivers, and
NCSA can use the Clarkson SLIP8250 (as of the moment, PC-IP can't, I don't
know about KA9Q).  All of these have Telnet, KA9Q and NCSA have FTP.  None
of them have NFS, RPC, rlogin, rsh, rcp or sockets.

Both Sun's PC/NFS and our PC/TCP (both commercial packages) have NFS, rlogin,
rsh, rcp and sockets.  As of this instant (because I haven't shipped the v2.04
Developer's Kit), only Sun has RPC (but we will by the end of the week).  Both
packages support SLIP.
