SLIP (Serial Line 28721da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 28731da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 28741da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 28751da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 28761da177e4SLinus Torvalds 28771da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 28781da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 28791da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 28801da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28811da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 28821da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 28831da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28841da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 28851da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 29041da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP.
