>Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Serial Line IP (SLIP) are widely used
|
|
protocols for carrying IP packets over a serial link. A number of institutions
|
|
offer dialup PPP and SLIP access to machines that are on the Internet, thus
|
|
providing IP connectivity to private persons (something that's otherwise
|
|
hardly affordable).</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>No hardware modifications are necessary to run PPP or SLIP; you can use
|
|
any serial port. Since serial port configuration is not specific to
|
|
TCP/IP networking, we have devoted a separate chapter to this. Please
|
|
refer to <A
|
|
HREF="x-087-2-serial.html"
|
|
>Chapter 4</A
|
|
>, for more information. We cover
|
|
PPP in detail in <A
|
|
HREF="x-087-2-ppp.html"
|
|
>Chapter 8</A
|
|
>, and SLIP in
