For the NetBSD end, ifconfig sl0 link0 will turn on header compression.  Also
set is link2 (by default I believe) which means if it RECEIVES a compressed
header, it starts sending them as well.  It's kinda in a ``wait and see''
mode.

You may get better overall speed unless you don't care about interactive
traffic and you never loose a packet.  Assuming no compression and perfect
transfer rates, you'll get 1440 char/sec.  That means a 1500-packet would
be over a second to send.  So, if 10 of those are queued up before your
small interactive-typing ones, you may wait a while.
