I used SLIP with my first ISP (anyone remember io.org), but when I moved 
to IBM's Advantis started using PPP.  One issue with SLIP was it 
required static addresses, IIRC.  This meant an ISP couldn't share IP 
addresses among multiple users, even though people generally weren't 
connected all the time, the way we are these days.
