Is SLIP the best way to cheaply connect two small (~20 machines each) 
Unix-based lan sites (~30km apart) together? I'm interested in solutions 
which address the requirements of low cost for a internet with low 
performance requirements (typical applications would be SMTP, ~3 
megabytes ftp/week, and occasional Telnet sessions). With this in mind, 
the best thing I have heard about was CSLIP. Is it available to all?  
If so, where can it be obtained from?  Are there better ways?


Cheers,

Gordon Day.
