Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 25141da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 25151da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 25161da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 25171da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 25181da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 25191da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 25201da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 25371da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 25381da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 25391da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 25401da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
