Compressed SLIP
CSLIP

   <networking> (CSLIP) {VanJacobsen TCP header compression}.  A
   version of {SLIP} using {compression}.  CSLIP has no effect on
   the data portion of the {packet} and has nothing to do with
   compression by {modem}.  It does reduce the {TCP} header from
   40 bytes to 7 bytes, a noticeable difference when doing
   {telnet} with lots of little packets.  CSLIP has no effect on
   UDP, only TCP.
