If you want InterNet access, get a 14400-baud modem with V.42bis
data compression, and get some SLIP software and an account on
a SLIP provider.  With the data compression, you can get speeds
up to 57,600 baud. This is poor man's EtherNet.  It works for
me!

SLIP stands for Serial Line Internet Protocol...which I guess
is basically TCP/IP over a serial (modem) line.


See if you don't like it better than a $175-a-month leased
line! :)
