I think having PPP and SLIP work out of the box would be a better use of the
space.

Personally, I'd vote for vi before slip and ppp.  I still can't
believe the number of problems I've had with ae (having trusted it
since it decided I wanted ^Ms in my doc), and how annoying it
is the number of times things try to call 'ae' unless I remember to
export EDITOR first.

Now that sounds great! Is there any way we can get PPP/SLIP into the
boot/root disks? Then the base system could be installed via ftp.
