What bothers me is the need for term-ified versions of this and that.
If it could be made to pipe into the networking system as if it were
SLIP, it would be less of a problem. 

If SLiRP was operating correctly (using select()), it would not use
more CPU time than term. If it's using another kind of polling
loop, it may need repair.
