Yes. I have tried out TIA and it does work. It basically gives you a SLIP
account and all you need is a shell account. The only real problem is that I
believe it violates the Network Computing Policy that was recently put into
action. I'm going to check with David Leonard of CNS and see if he has a
problem with anyone using TIA or term for that matter.
