Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 28351da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 28361da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 28371da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28381da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 28391da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28401da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 28411da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 28641da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 28651da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 28661da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 28671da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
