This was because of an intervening fuzzball running at 4800 bps -- they could
not try the Trailblazer at any faster rate. Those sites that have used the
Trailblazers at 9600 and 19200 with SLIP have reported excellent results. I
don't have the specifics handy, but I will be soon running SLIP over a bunch
of Trailblazers connected to Pyramids. I'll post the results when I'm done.

Under great duress from about a dozen people, I'll also be getting the 'g'
spoofing PROMs into our Trailblazers real soon; any site who wants to link up
their Trailblazers to ours is more than welcome. (We've been using the 'f'
protocol on the Trailblazer for over a year now, and have generally not had
many sites to talk to.)
