SLIP (Serial Line 28251da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 28261da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 28271da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 28281da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 28291da177e4SLinus Torvalds 28301da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 28311da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 28321da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 28331da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28341da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 28351da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 28361da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28371da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 28381da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just 28391da177e4SLinus Torvalds want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full 28401da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on 28411da177e4SLinus Torvalds some Internet connected Unix computer.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 28571da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 28581da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 28591da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28601da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 28611da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28621da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 28631da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 28861da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 28871da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 28881da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 28891da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
