Hehe.  I've got nothing *against* it.. I was actually thinking of
using it myself, since I wanted to see what the difference was.
I meant, above, that changing to PPP isn't going to sort his problems
(well, its very unlikely to) - hence, there's no point.

Why have most places phased SLIP out then?
If you think SLIP is better, then I'll definatly give it another try,
because, as you say, Demon's config doesn't work with SLIP - so I was
unable to use it.  I'll go and write a new script for SLIP, I think,
and see what's what.

What is the basic difference between the two, apart from the
protocols.. and is ANT's SLIP driver better (less buggier) that their
PPP one?
