nope, thats the whole reason for term, you don't need SLIP.
X-windows runs alright under it on a 9600 baud modem - as long as you don't
want to view pictures. Not everything is fast enough to be useable, but
many things are, and don't forget that term can let you have as many
windows open to the server as you want.
