It is worth the money: SLIP is free!
The trouble should not be too big, as there have been hints on the net.
What I like is to be able to use NewsGrazer, rsh, rcp, ftp (and several of  
them at the same time). You might also be able to use -NXHost (although it  
is _very_ slow) and Distributed objects. (There are however installation  
problems with the last two things).
