Well, OK, maybe it just nibbled a bit at the corners..

OK, OK, it didn't eat my brain at all!  I just said that to get your
attention.  What it *DID* do, however, was totally fail to negotiate
header compression!

I was talking to David tonite about the slattach -c flag as opposed to
-a, and it occured to me to check which form of VJ header compression
I was using.  Imagine my horror to find out that I haven't been using
*any* form of compression up to now (no wonder my interactive
performance didn't feel quite as fast as I thought it should!) and
switching back to good old kermit + slattach had me working just
peachy again.

So my question is this: How do you select VJ compression options with
startslip?  Can we add this?  I really like the simplicity that
startslip affords me, but I can't really afford to have header
compression not work - I do too much interactive work on freefall.

Thanks!
