$   Well, when you get your connect through a university...should you really

$ connect above 300 baud.

well, i get 14.4 since i don't own a 28.8 modem (there are 32 28.8 lines,
63 14.4 ones at this U).  the nearest university doesn't do more than
9600, i think (and they don't do slip/ppp...but that may have changed).
we do better than the two other universities in this state, afaik.

i generally get no problems.

the terminal server doesn't do t/tcp, though.
