I've played around with it using Telebit T2500's, talking V.32, with
data and header compression turned on. I'm using rt_aos4 systems
as the machines that are talking SLIP. It doesn't work well at all. Small
things like text files come across OK...but the first binary you attempt
to fetch causes a long wait, followed by a "lost contact..." message.
If you were trying to execute the binary, you generally get a core
dump from it...
I'd love to know if there's something I can tweak to get it working better.
