Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 24811da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 24821da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 24831da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 24841da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 24851da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from 24861da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure 24871da177e4SLinus Torvalds CSLIP.

Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: 25041da177e4SLinus Torvalds "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over 25051da177e4SLinus Torvalds the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other 25061da177e4SLinus Torvalds end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP 25071da177e4SLinus Torvalds over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad.
