15. PPP and SLIP

If your connection to the Internet is through a modem, or you wish to provide other people with dialup connections to the Internet using FreeBSD, you have the option of using PPP or SLIP. Furthermore, two varieties of PPP are provided: user (sometimes referred to as iijppp) and kernel. The procedures for configuring both types of PPP, and for setting up SLIP are described in this chapter.
