Well, I can quite confidently say that InterCon feels this way too (at
least, they did when I worked for them :)), but they can't really fix
bugs in MacTCP, which is why they only have SLIP for their standalone
version.  There's a similar situation with SMNP--MacTCP won't let them
do a real implementation.

Bug Apple :).
