SLIP (Serial Line 29801da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 29811da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 29821da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 29831da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 29841da177e4SLinus Torvalds 29851da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 29861da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 29871da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 29881da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 29891da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 29901da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 29911da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 29921da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 29931da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 30121da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP.
