Is there any interest in a TAC like device capable of running SLIP
(Serial Line IP) on its terminal interfaces ?  As I currently
envision this, each serial line could be a logical host when acting
as an IP device, and just a normal port when acting as a terminal.
This might provide some performance improvement over things like
kermit for downloading/uploading files....
