Although SLIP and PPP links are only simple point-to-point links like
PLIP connections, there is much more to be said about them. Usually,
establishing a SLIP connection involves dialing up a remote site
through your modem, and setting the serial line to SLIP mode. PPP is
used in a similar fashion. The tools required for setting up a SLIP or
PPP link will be described in chapters-<A HREF="node92.html#slip"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="cross_ref_motif.gif"></A> and-<A HREF="node107.html#ppp"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="cross_ref_motif.gif"></A>.
