  Is there a public domain (or inexpensive) protocol available which
provides a serial line  connection which is error free? I need something
like SLIP (which I assume is error-free), but without everything
it does and all of the overhead and software support necessary.
I just want my 2400 baud modem to communicate (in real time, not
for file transfers) with a unix machine and not to get line noise. Support
would have to be strictly in software (running on my machine and the Unix
machine). 


Thanks,

-Rob
