Dave,
They may be right. Your SLIP may not have been configured correctly. But I
had the same problem. I fiddled with my SLIP for a _long_ time and it never
worked well. When I got to 28.8 slip really bogged my system down. MacPPP,
however, worked great the first time. My PPP performance is easily twice
that of slip. Plus, there is no performance penalty whatsoever.

Perhaps we both had slip configured wrong. I don't know about you, but I'm
not going back to slip to try and get it worked out. My Mac runs great now
that I'm using PPP.
