I wasn't going to ask before, but I guess curiosity got the best of me. I've been working for an ISP for the past 8 years, so PPP and SLIP talk comes up alot. I don't usually post, just read, however I am curious about what kind of application could possibly be using slip as opposed to ppp now-a-days ??
One legitimate use-case is talking to single-chip embedded CPUs, eg an Atmel AVR or Mega, or a PIC controller. Very limited code space means that the networking implementation may be limited to just UDP/IP, and PPP is way too big, but SLIP is trivially doable.
