- Possibly. On the other hand, PPP isn't in many versions of AmigaNOS, and
- SLIP is simpler to set up - just set the speed, instead of lots and lots
- of parameters, with very very few clues in the documentation (if you can
- find any). And SLIP usually works OK, so the choice of protocol isn't
- normally a major issue, assuming a reasonable link (Error correcting Modems,
- or similar).
