L2TP is a protocol 28123557baabSJames Chapman used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP 28133557baabSJames Chapman tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses. 28143557baabSJames Chapman 28153557baabSJames Chapman This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a 28163557baabSJames Chapman userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel 28173557baabSJames Chapman and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP 28183557baabSJames Chapman (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/). 28193557baabSJames Chapman 28201da177e4SLinus Torvaldsconfig SLIP 28211da177e4SLinus Torvalds tristate "SLIP (serial line) support" 28221da177e4SLinus Torvalds ---help--- 28231da177e4SLinus Torvalds Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to 28241da177e4SLinus Torvalds connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some 28251da177e4SLinus Torvalds other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a 28261da177e4SLinus Torvalds Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line 28271da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 28281da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 28291da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 28301da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 28311da177e4SLinus Torvalds 28321da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 28331da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 28341da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 28351da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28361da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 28371da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 28381da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28391da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 28401da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just 28411da177e4SLinus Torvalds want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full 28421da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on 28431da177e4SLinus Torvalds some Internet connected Unix computer.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 28591da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 28601da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 28611da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28621da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 28631da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28641da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 28651da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 28881da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 28891da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 28901da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well.
