   I am very interesting in learning more about "SLIP".  I would be
   thankful for any leads on references to information about it.

SLIP, the Serial Line Internet Protocol, was defined in RFC1055.  A
performance improvement (header compression) was defined in RFC1144.

But don't bother: SLIP has been obsoleted by PPP, the Point to Point
Protocol, as defined in RFC1134 and refined in RFC1171 and RFC1172.
