I've read the SLIP and PPP RFCs but I didn't get a feeling for
performance differences between the two. A lot of my work is
done over character mode telnet or remote shell on a 9600 baud SLIP line.
I definitely notice the echo delay as I type because of the packeting of
each character.

Does PPP reduce packet sizes for interactive applications? If so, how
does it compare to compressed SLIP?
