- Have a look at PPP with Van Jacobsen TCP/IP header compression, I've been
- running it over a V.32 link, even for X traffic and have found it to give
- better performance than SLIP.
-
- This is especially true if you're using it over a TELEBIT modem with the
- PEP protocol. A VJ compressed PPP packet containing a single keystroke and
- the header will fit into the micropacket on a TrailBlazer, unlike the
- corresponding SLIP packet which will not, and will cause the TrailBlazer's
- addaptive duplex algorythm to trash.
