Visual Technologies just gave us a demo of their X terminal.  It
includes SLIP in ROM, which seems to make it ideal for hooking up to a
9600 baud modem from home.

Unfortunately, the people demo'ing the unit had the brain of a pea and
said they would have to talk to their engineers before admitting this
would work.

Is anybody interested in this?  Done it?  Planning to?
With what modem?  X terminal?

Lastly, does any modem manufacture spoof SLIP?  (Were you jesting
about Telebit, or do you actually know if they are going to do it?)
