I am currently running a SLIP link over a leased phone line with
a set of Motorola 9600 baud synchronous modems (connected to asynch
ports on both ends with asynch-to-synch adapters).  I am curious
as to wether these Microcoms could buy me any speed on SLIP.  I
suspect they could for file transfers but I have my doubts about
interactive performance.  Has anyone out there tried running SLIP
with a set of these?  What is the speed without compression?  I
get the impression that it's only 9600.  If that's the case then
I'd probably be better off with a Telebit 2500 wouldn't I?  Maybe
I should just wait until I can afford a 56k.  What are people's
opinions out there on good modems for SLIP?  Interactive performance
is more important to me than file transfer speed.
