Why do you say that you need a dedicated line?  It is nice to have a dedicated  
line for SLIP but not necessary at all.  I don't have a dedicated line for my  
2400bps SLIP link, I bring it up when I need to send mail or read news.  The  
rest of the time, the store and forward mail mechanism at the server holds my  
mail untill I log in.  Furthermore, I see no reason why SLIP (or PPP) won't  
"Work remotely in a portable way"  If you can get yourself hold of a NeXTstep  
486 laptop, or simply if you move your station from place to place (Luggable?   
:-) ) you can connect as easily as you do at home or work.

Just one man's opinion...
