SLIP (Serial Line 25281da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 25291da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 25301da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 25311da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 25321da177e4SLinus Torvalds 25331da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 25341da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 25351da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 25361da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 25371da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 25381da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 25391da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 25401da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 25411da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 25591da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 25601da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 25611da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 25621da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 25631da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 25641da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 25651da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 25841da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well.
