SLIP (Serial Line 28521da177e4SLinus Torvalds Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over 28531da177e4SLinus Torvalds serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; 28541da177e4SLinus Torvalds nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same 28551da177e4SLinus Torvalds purpose. 28561da177e4SLinus Torvalds 28571da177e4SLinus Torvalds Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you 28581da177e4SLinus Torvalds to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP 28591da177e4SLinus Torvalds around (available from 28601da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28611da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If 28621da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The 28631da177e4SLinus Torvalds NET-3-HOWTO, available from 28641da177e4SLinus Torvalds <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to 28651da177e4SLinus Torvalds configure SLIP.

Ask your access provider if you are not sure and 28841da177e4SLinus Torvalds answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If 28851da177e4SLinus Torvalds you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from 28861da177e4SLinus Torvalds <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which 28871da177e4SLinus Torvalds allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you 28881da177e4SLinus Torvalds definitely want to say Y here.
