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.
