Hey....
    I happen to know about packet-driving over serial lines.  First- I 
have seen *no* implementations of SLIP or PPP that don't require either a 
kernal rebuild or loadable module (a la Solaris).  These usually have a 
daemon running to handle the connection.  The lines are usually connected 
to a term server that is dedicated to PPP/SLIP instead of one with a menu 
that is usually used for terminal access.  It could be run with a serial 
board in the server though.  It requires quite a bit of setup to do on the 
server end... If you can't get the sysadmin to do it, it won't get done.  
I know of at least one school that offers SLIP access 24-7 on a dedicated 
14.4 modem.  Depending on where in Maryland he is, JasonLee might be 
interested.  They charge $40/month and access is, of course, limited to 
non-commercial use :)
