    Here's the set up.  Let's say I am in city A and the SS2 is in city B.
    There is a terminal server in city A that has modems hanging off of it
    and can connect to the SS2 in city B over a DECnet or TCP-IP
    connection (I am not sure which).  Here's the question, would any of
    the serial line ip packages (SLIP, PPP, or dialupip) be able to run
    over this kind of connection ([mybox]-[modem]-[modem]-[terminal
    server]-[SS2])?

A good number of todays terminal servers support SLIP directly.  Some
even support PPP.  This would solve your problem more convieniently.
