One of our projects tried running on a low bandwith net (leased line 512Kbits/s) over which we ran TCP/IP, SQL*Net and Forms45 on local PC clients with the database on a RS/6000. This is not SLIP, I know, but even with a few users the word was that 'it's a drag'.

So, I think that if you plan to use SLIP connections (esp. low bandwith ones) - forget it! Or at least set up a pilot-test before you make any architectual decions.
