Not the kind to be patient when I could be beating on machines, I went
ahead and dug into the PPP mess.  After about an hour of hacking files 
and a dozen or so attempts, I managed to get it working.  And using PPP
seems to have fixed the problem I was having with SLIP -- FTP to various
machines would hang in the opening dialogs, causing the server to time
out and close the connection.

The only downside is that with Worldnet I have a dynamic address, whereas
with eskimo I have a static address.  I'm not willing to PPP into eskimo
though, because half their modems are still 14.4K.  (The result of
operating on a shoestring budget.  OTOH I get unlimited access for six
dollars a month...)

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
