If I have 32 users on a terminal server (running SLIP) through a router
on a 56 Kb link the link is not any more loaded than with 32 users
logged in to shell accounts doing the same thing over a 56 Kb link from
the UNIX box. I don't see a SLIP connected PC doing Gopher any different
than a shell connected user doing Gopher.
