Well, there is a version of NCSA Telnet which contains an implementation
of SLIP from Cisco.  Also, there is TCP/Connect II which contains SLIP.

What you really need is a SLIP for MacTCP, I don't know of any off hand.
Though I do know of some people working on it.  You might also want to just
look into getting two Telebit modems?  They would take care of the errors
for you, I believe.

Hope that helps.
