-config SLIP
- tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
- ---help---
- Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
- connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
- other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
- Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. 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. If
- you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
- NET-3-HOWTO, available from
- <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
- configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
- want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
- Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
- some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
- <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
- support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
-
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
- will be called slip.

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

-config SLIP_SMART
- bool "Keepalive and linefill"
- depends on SLIP
- help
- Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
- RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
- analogue lines.
-
-config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
- bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
- depends on SLIP
- help
- Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
- networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
- bit. 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. If unsure, say N.
