I share the concern voiced by Raman vis SLIP.  PC users WILL share
diskettes, a small minority of them will realize/bother to change the
IP address.  SLIP and its 'fixed' IP address is a problem which prevents
greater/more functional use of SLIP.  NetBIOS/SLIP anyone?

I still feel it is too bad the Stanford people will not make their code
available to the (Non-Academic) net community.  We never found POP anywhere
else.  I cannot see how this benefits Stanford, the academic community,
DOD, or the country (USA).
