Excerpts from internet.computing.freebsd-hackers: 7-Feb-95 SLIP (ping
time over 14400) by Christoph Kukulies@gilbe

Your ping times sound good to me.  Here are results that I'm getting between
my host (which has 10mb ethernet connectivity all the way to the ANS
backbone) and a friends machine (which has 28800 SLIP connectivity to
a T1 connection) through traceroute (first) and ping (second).

I would expect better then 1k/s.  What speed are you running the serial
port at (it should be at least 38.4k) and do you have hardware handshaking 
on?  I can usually get about 3k/s to the above machine.
