As far as I can tell, it doesn't have a dialer or terminal program.  

I had a lot of problems getting a terminal program to log in with that
would then exit or suspend, while leaving the serial port open, so
KA9Q could take over.  (This may be, at least partially, a problem to
be solved on the linux side by giving agetty the proper options.)

Trying to debug a slip connection when there's problems on both ends
is .... educational. :-/

>Sounds like youre doing pretty good.

I did get an FTP session open.  Couldn't transmit files but I did have
an open session.

I'm also not sure how fast a connection it can tolerate.  At 4800 I
was either losing packets like mad or I've got other problems.

>Keep trying. 

Of course. :-)

Don't sell yourself so short.   I know we've crossed words a couple of
times, but there's just something about the Net that encourages
flamage.

Interesting.  That could be a good book.  Have fun with it.

>Meanwhile, have fun and let us know what you find!

So far, so good.
