slip comes standard with Interactive TCP/IP and with Dell UNIX SVR4
as well.   utilities such as slattach and sldialup are used to dial 
into a machine and initiate a SLIP connection enabling the use of
ftp, rlogin, telnet, etc - as well as nntp and smtp.

we have 4 dialup lines in Indianapolis and run SLIP via a leased line
to our box here in South Bend.
