Larry, SLIP is just IP using an async. RS-232 port.  Error correction is
done by TCP.  This requires fast turnaround, however, and so the best bet
is V.32 with *NO* packetizing, error correction or compression by the
modem.  A true V.32 rate of 9600 should give an effective data throughput
close to 80%, or near 760 bytes per second.
