SLIP (Serial Line 29871da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 29881da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 29891da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 29901da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 29911da177e4SLinus Torvalds 29921da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 29931da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 29941da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 29951da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 29961da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 29971da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below.
