SLIP (Serial Line 25801da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 25811da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 25821da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 25831da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 25841da177e4SLinus Torvalds 25851da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 25861da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 25871da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 25881da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 25891da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 25901da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 25911da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 25921da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 25931da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 26111da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 26121da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 26131da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 26141da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 26151da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 26161da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 26171da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 26361da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well.
