Uh, are you sure about this? It was my understanding that the IBM
slip driver does use VJ compression (optionally of course.) Or at 
least it does in TCP/IP 2.0. I set up a SLIP link with that package
under OS/2 2.1 and VJ compression was an option. I believe the SLIP 
support in WARP is basically TCP/IP 2.0 with only the SLIP drivers. 
Unless they've taken pains to hack out the VJ support it should be 
in there.
