- I have to disagree strongly with this statement. With the right hardware
- and software the slip performance is excellent. Here is my setup.
-
- I have and RT at home. I took an IBM AT Serial/Parallel card and replaced
- the NS16450 with an NS16550AFN. I ported Van Jacobson's compressed slip and
- installed a new asy device driver from Peter Honeyman. I connect to work
- via two WorldBlazer V.32bis modems with V.42 and V.42bis turned on. If I
- ftp a /etc/termcap, ftp reports a transfer rate of 2kbytes/second in either
- direction. The modems are locked in at 38,400 bps with hardware flow control
- on.
-
- I usually use local xterms and rlogin to hosts at work. However, I find it
- more convenient to use xmh at work and display at home. I don't mind waiting
- a couple of seconds with wxmap draws the current weather map either.
-
- I can give limited advice on how to achieve the same success.
-
- Hope this helps, ...Tim
