SLIP (Serial Line 29791da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 29801da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 29811da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 29821da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 29831da177e4SLinus Torvalds 29841da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 29851da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 29861da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 29871da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 29881da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection.
