The SLIP encapsulation doesn't look too bad, but, as I understand it, it
encapsulates TCP/IP packets, not my raw ascii. So, I need a TCP/IP stack,
then encapsulate to SLIP, all just to get ascii from here to there....

I HAVE found these products that might be useful... I was wondering if
anyone had actually used anything like this, or would like to talk me out
of it!

THANKS!
