There's also a program called "term" that apparently gives you SLIP-like
functionality: multiple sessions/downloading, running X remotely, log
in to linux from remote machine, etc. It includes compression
and error-correction in case your modem doesn't.
I've compiled it on both Linux and my uni account, but I haven't been able
to try it yet because I'm still having problems with the serial driver
in 0.98.1.
