I wouldn't count on getting > 800byte/sec throughput with slip because
you won't be able to use the error correction mode (it will conflict with the
acks required by slip).

Besides, most modem manufacturer claims of throughput deal with throughput
of clear text (which is pretty easy to compress), not a standard mix of
text and data (which is what you would expect on a typical slip connection).
