Sorry I can't offer much info about this, but I wanted to chime in and say that I have also noticed a significant SLIP speed decrease since 1.3.7[2-7].
Here's a couple of things I've noticed. 1) telneting to a SunOS 4.1.3 host is fairly quick, however, telneting to a Solaris host causes slow down. (this was tested on more than two machines...)
2) If I type slow enough, i.e., waiting for character to echo back before typing the next, it keeps up. However, if I type any faster, it slows down. i.e., it takes longer to echo back the characters if I type quickly then it does if I type slowly. WAG: There seems to be some kind of buffer which is slowing things down. I'm talking times in the 1 to 3 second range.
I'm, using CSLIP and the SLIP keepalive compiled as both module and in the kernel (at different times...)
