Well, if you want to try to configure SLIP with "unknown quality" modems
(no slur intended) but you may be in for a ride. My suggestion is that
you could setup SLIP with a couple of good Hayes 2400s/Hayes-compatibles
(must be *good compatibility) or get a couple of Telebit T2500s. You can
get them through UUNET at pretty good prices.
If it were my choice, I'd go with the Telebit T2500. The fix-hayes and
fix-telebit scripts to setup the modems are included in the uucp subsystem.
Here is a copy of a posting from another (unknown) newsgroup that I saved.
Compare these prices with those from your local sources:
