It works over SLIP, but I rarely use it at 9600. It is very slow.
When I tried to use Mail.app over SLIP, it took about 3 minutes for
the windows to come up and it another half a minute for the send window
to appear and another half a minute for me to type in the addess 
and see it displayed in the to field. Another 20 seconds to get
over to the Subject field. Another half a minute to type in the
subject... and then I quit.
