  93. SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
  94. lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
  95. one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
  96. to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
  97. Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.

  110. device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  111. receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  112. via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  113. When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  114. corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
  115. devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and

  164. Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
  165. type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
  166. Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
  167. coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
  168. pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
  169. hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
  170. 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
  171. 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
  172. cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
  173. [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
  174. Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

  176. an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
  177. say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

  179. to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

  785. install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a

  787. first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
  788. enabled for this to work.
  789. The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
  790. ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
  791. with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
  792. bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
  793. bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a

  813. PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
  814. the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
  815. serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
  816. otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
  817. days support PPP rather than SLIP.
  818. To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
  819. in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
  820. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
  821. the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
  822. The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
  823. There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
  824. asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
  825. synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
  826. example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
  827. asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
  828. the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
  829. synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support

  831. If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
