CSLIP is an implementation of SLIP that has Van Jacobson's compression
algorithms.  Most PPP implementations do not have VJ header
prediction/compression.  Bottom line is that you are probably better
off performance-wise with CSLIP unless you can find a PPP
implementation with VJ compression.

There have been some recent changes to the PPP spec re VJ compression
so be sure what you get conforms to the latest changes.
