279 ---help---
280 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
281 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
282 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
283 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
284 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
285 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
286 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
287 purpose.
288
289 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
290 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
291 around (available from
292 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
293 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
294 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
295 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
296 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
297 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
298 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
299 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
300 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
301 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
302 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
303
304 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
305 will be called slip.

310 select SLHC
311 ---help---
312 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
313 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
314 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
315 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
316 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
317 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
318 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
319 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
320 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
321 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

333 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the

335 analogue lines.

340 help
341 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
342 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
343 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
344 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
345 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
346 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
347 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
