	I have both the Encore and Xylogics varients of the Annex II
	terminal server running some ports under slip.  I am very happy
	with the ease in configuration,  but I would like to see something
	that supports the Van Jacobsen hdr compression algorithms( RFC 1144).	
	Does anyone know of a product that supports this scheme?  SLIP is
	sssoooo easy to configure slip on an Annex. It seems like a shame
	to waste it, but ftp and telnet are so gawdawfully slow even over
	a 38.4k link that I still resist putting it in place.

	For those that care, Xylogics is the Manufacturer of the Annex
	now, but Encore still oem's the product, and they have their
	own software line to support the normal Encore line of multimaxen.
