...an excellent article that explains much of Telebit lore.  One thing, tho:

# A blurb in PC Week mentioned that SLIP protocol was included.

Hmmm.  Not from what I hear.  SLIP won't be "supported" until the SLIP
community makes up their mind what the framing is going to be.  Does anyone
have the exact quote?  I suspect it's something like "SLIP is supported"
which means basically nothing.  SLIP is supported on copper wire, too.

I think the Trailblazer is a great modem, but it does not as yet "include
SLIP" the way it includes UUCP.
