- For a real data point, one of the first Usenix conference terminal rooms
- was hooked to the Internet via PEP and header-compressed SLIP (by special
- arrangement with Van Jacobson to use his then-unreleased header-compression
- code, in fact...), and the one after that used V.32 CSLIP instead (Telebit
- having announced a V.32 modem by that point :-)). While the PEP-CSLIP
- link wasn't unusable, the V.32 one was *definitely* a lot more satisfactory.
- This was with pretty highly asymmetric traffic, too -- keystrokes out and
- machine responses back.
