We have lots of Macs on 19200 baud lines connected to terminal 
servers (LAT protocol, Decserver 100 to 500). The Macs could 
run tcp/ip if configured, and I want to set up SLIP between 
Macs and Terminal servers so that the Macs can use UNIX resources. 
The need is for XWindows (I know, 19200 is *slow* for X), 
eventually SMTP Mail, telnet, FTP, and lpr. 

IP sites at our place include decstation 5000, convex, silicon graphics, and 
(VMS) vaxes running ip. 


I would like to know whether someone tried this. 
Pointers, Offers, Resouce tips, and all other hints welcome.
