I managed to get SLIP working using direct-connected Trailblazer modems
at 19200 bps between two VaxStation 2000 Ultrix 2.0 systems using some
4.3bsd SLIP source from the net, slightly modified to compile and fit
into our Ultrix binary distribution.  Interactive response (via rlogin
over the SLIP line) was abysmal.  Bulk data transfer (via rcp) was not
bad for large files.  I was going to test interactive response with
data compression mode off, to see if that helped, but I haven't done
that yet.  Ultrix 2.4 seems to have a much nicer dial-up SLIP
capability via an /etc/sliphosts file and login accounts that run
/etc/slattach.  Haven't tried that yet.
