SLIP (Serial Line 29741da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 29751da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 29761da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 29771da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 29781da177e4SLinus Torvalds 29791da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 29801da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 29811da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 29821da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 29831da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 29841da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 29851da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 29861da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 29871da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.
