I have a question for those of you who have been using SLIP.

We are setting up SLIP for a number of our professors who have NeXT
machines at home as well as at work.  They prefer to read
their mail using the NeXT Mail GUI.  Has anyone a list of practical
do's and don'ts for setting up a mail client over a SLIP line?

The SLIP server is also the mail server for our NetInfo cluster.
I assume that I could go ahead and make the same NFS mounts that
I normally would for a mail client, but I have heard that NFS
can be troublesome over SLIP.  What is the common net wisdom on
this?

Steve
