Not exactly...  The kernels at each end should fragment/reassemble large 
UDP datagrams across multiple SLIP packets, just as they do across 
multiple Ethernet MAC frames if you send a UDP datagram more than 1472 
bytes.  There is a slight IP+SLIP overhead here, but the UDP/RTP headers 
are not repeated.

The RFC's recommended 1006 MTU doesn't apply if you're in control of 
both ends, anyway.  You can request a higher MTU with ifconfig:

# ifconfig sl0 192.168.200.1 pointopoint 192.168.200.2 mtu 8192

My kernel will accept anything up to 64K (although I haven't tested it),

Regards

Paul
