Yes, but the performance is really bad. There appears to be a lot of protocol
going on that SLIP deals badly with. My simple benchmark involved passing 108
byte packets between a client and server, and timing the overall throughput.
With the client and server on the same machine, I got a throughput of about
5KBytes/sec. Over the SLIP line, I got 27 BYTES/sec (!). There was an average
of 4 seconds per packet.
So much for the remote mail-reader using distributed objects over SLIP...
