SLIP (Serial Line 29461da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 29471da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 29481da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 29491da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 29501da177e4SLinus Torvalds 29511da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 29521da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 29531da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 29541da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 29551da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 29561da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 29571da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 29581da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 29591da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 29771da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP.
