If 28321da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 28331da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28341da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 28351da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just 28361da177e4SLinus Torvalds want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full 28371da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on 28381da177e4SLinus Torvalds some Internet connected Unix computer.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 28541da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 28551da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 28561da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28571da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 28581da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28591da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 28601da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 28831da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 28841da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 28851da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 28861da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
