But for SLIP/PPP that's just fine, that how's we do congestion control
in datagram networks................

 It isn't that the cisco terminal servers can't support all lines
 running at max speed that really bothers me, it's that they will simply
 drop data if they reach saturation, rather than just slowing down.
 Since I don't know in advance exactly what my users will be doing, it's
 difficult to be sure that my configuration won't saturate.  Since the
 penalty is so severe for overloading the box, I will have to
 over-design the configuration anyway.
