This is a naive question perhaps. I want someone's opinion concerning
the utility or advantage of installing the SLIP package available
at the archives. I know  of course how useful it is to be on 
the net, but what I need is a speed comparison and conveniency
comparison between SLIP with a V.32 modem and my present setup, 
where I use UUCP for mail and dial out with MicroPhone to access
my account on the university's network, ftp to sites, obtain files, 

then z or x modem them here. Is it worth the money / trouble?

Thanks
