SLIP (Serial Line - Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over - serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; - nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same - purpose. - - Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you - to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP - around (available from - <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which - allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection.

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