Has anyone ever played with the idea of doing TCP/IP over MIDI lines?
(MIDI, for those unfamiliar with it, is a 31250 bps asynchronous current-
loop ring network meant for computer control of music hardware; it's a
standard feature on some prominent non-IBM personal computers like the
Atari ST.)  SLIP and friends should be directly applicable.

(Speaking of which, is there any new word on "son of SLIP", or are we
all going to be doomed to using various incompatible hacked-up extensions?)
