Well, with the T2000 - I get right round 1kb/sec and with the 2400 
baud modem - I get right around 1.5 kb/sec which is "fair" I guess.

I received a message that stated if our (I am running ISC 2.2) SLIP
uses compressed headers we would get better throughput -  also
I should wave RFC1144, RFC1171 and RFC1172 at the ISC developers.

Comments from ISC?
