My current connection:
	PC -normal dialup-> Cisco -> Sparc-II

My desired connection:
	PC -better dialup-> Cisco -> Sparc-II

I'm interested in establishing a PC-Unix connection over a dialup line,
with the connectivity listed above.  Any protocol (Xremote, SLIP, CSLIP,
maybe PPP) is an option, preference given to those which I could run an
X-server over.

I've had the opportunity to look at a few products so far:

CUTCP	-	Advantages: PD, cheap, not picky about what else it will run
		with.  Disadvantages: Not on the list of things that other
		picky programs will run with. :)

PC-Xview -	Advantages: X-windows, easy to configure.  Disadvantages: 
		Expensive, doesn't support PD connection protocols, works 
		best with X-Remote, which is also expensive.

PCTCP -		Advantages: Widely used, well known, terribly comprehensive.
		Disadvantages: Not PD, difficult to configure.

The Cisco in question currently supports X-Remote connections, but doesn't
have SLIP active.  I can bug The Powers That Be to turn on SLIP if that's my
only choice... X-windows would be very nice, though.

My PC is a '286, not capable of running Windows or Linux (sorry, for those
who were about to suggest those! ;), with 4 megs of RAM (well, it's capable
of running Windows, but I'm one of those annoying people that actually likes
software to execute at a usable speed! ;), 80mb hard drive (50mb free), VGA
greyscale, and a v.32bis/42bis (14400) modem.

Any ideas?  Throw 'em at me.

I'd really prefer e-mail responses to this (reply, don't followup), thanks...
