  We have been experimenting with NFS over SLIP and PPP
  using Telebit's NetBlazers with 2 t3000 modems.

Hard to believe anyone would try to run NFS over a slow link.  It doesn't do
any client-side caching, does it?  How do you deal with that?

We're running AFS over SLIP here and it seems to work pretty well (after
tuning rx a bit).  Our client caches are about 20 Mb and are persistent
across reboots.
