You *can* use seyon to setup a SLIP connection but then your modem
cable needs to support hardware flow control (mine did not!). If you
need to talk to your modem I prefer kermit because you can better see
what is happening (compared to seyon).

I am still suffering from `silo overflows' because my Multi-IO card does
not provide a buffered UART.
