[comp.sys.amiga] SLIP speed is surprising

Hate to add to the net traffic but i can not get to the NASA poster.
YES there is TCP/IP for the amiga. You can FTP it from louie.udel.edu
or trantor.umd.edu.
on both systems it is in pub/amigatcp.tar. It works just great. 
In fact, it screams, as i found out today. I ftp'd a 20K object file 
from a VAX on a 9600 baud line. It took about 25 seconds. After
the multi-minute wait i was used to for Kermit this was quite  a nice
surprise. I don't know why it is so fast yet but i think it is the buffering.
I will see what freemem says tomorrow.
