We were demoing our PC/TCP SLIP with a Telebit Trailblazer at the TCP/IP
conference in December.  If you want to do it on a large scale, there are
some issues regarding how the Unix SLIP code deals with multiple dial-up
hosts and multiple ports (IP address assignment), but these can be ignored
if it is small scale.  I have been told that the encapsulation that KA9Q
uses on packet radio is essentially SLIP, so all you'd need to do is install
a serial asynch driver.  Don't try to use the serial handling in the BIOS,
it is way too slow and flakey...
