  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.
