Our company is planning to hook up 7 remote sites up to our Sun Server
via digital point to point leased lines.  My question comes from not
knowing enough about leased lines and about tcp/ip.  What the phone
company proposes is DSUs connected to RS-232 ports at each of the
connection.  Here is where I get lost.  What should I run on either end?
Should I be running SLIP or PPP because the DSU is connected to an
RS-232 port?  This doesn't seem right since many people out there are
using leased lines and are not using slip.  Can anyone give me any
insights as to how _you_ would connect up two sites via leased lines
and how you would use tcp/ip to do it?  Thanks much.
