I would like to run CSLIP on my 386bsd machine, and I remember reading
here some time ago (was it from cgd?) that one of the patches in the
0.2.1 patchkit enabled VJ compression.  But now I've got the patchkit
and I can't see any mention of that.  Could someone give me a few
pointers?  Does the 0.2.1 patchkit provide me with functional cslip,
how does one enable it with ifconfig, and is it worth it (i.e. does it
REALLY improve matters over slip w/o VJ compression)?

Oh, and I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who's using a
v.32+v.42bis modem (not v.32bis) and who is getting anything close to
the supposed peak transmission speed --- I seem to be getting an
effective transfer rate of about 8000bps over a nice clean phone line.
