Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 27881da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 27891da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 27901da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 27911da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 27921da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 27931da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 27941da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel. 27951da177e4SLinus Torvalds 2796b6e37e55SRalf Baechleconfig SLHC 2797b6e37e55SRalf Baechle tristate 2798b6e37e55SRalf Baechle help 2799b6e37e55SRalf Baechle This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression 2800b6e37e55SRalf Baechle routines. 2801b6e37e55SRalf Baechle 28021da177e4SLinus Torvaldsconfig SLIP_SMART 28031da177e4SLinus Torvalds bool "Keepalive and linefill" 28041da177e4SLinus Torvalds depends on SLIP 28051da177e4SLinus Torvalds help 28061da177e4SLinus Torvalds Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the 28071da177e4SLinus Torvalds RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 28171da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 28181da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 28191da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 28201da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
