  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

  714. first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
  715. enabled for this to work.
  716. The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
  717. ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
  718. with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
  719. bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
  720. bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
  721. time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
  722. <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
  723. 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
  724. and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
  725. driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
  726. and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
  727. If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
  728. as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
  729. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
  730. protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
  731. with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
  732. your kernel by about 8 KB.
  733. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
  734. will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
  735. a laptop later.
  736. config PPP
  737. tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
  738. select SLHC
  739. ---help---
  740. PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
  741. the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
  742. serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
  743. otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
  744. days support PPP rather than SLIP.
  745. To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
  746. in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
  747. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
  748. the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
  749. The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
  750. There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
  751. asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
  752. synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
  753. example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
  754. asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
  755. the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
  756. synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
  757. synchronous PPP", below.
  758. If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
  759. you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
  760. compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
  761. here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
  762. config PPP_MULTILINK
  763. bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

  765. help
  766. PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
  767. to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
  768. connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
  769. This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
  770. version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
  771. If unsure, say N.
  772. config PPP_FILTER

  774. depends on PPP
  775. help
  776. Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
  777. PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
  778. activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
  779. a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
  780. You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
  781. active-filter options to pppd.

  789. asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
  790. a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
  791. need this option.

  807. ---help---
  808. Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
  809. Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
  810. each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
  811. other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
  812. Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
  813. they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
  814. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
  815. config PPP_BSDCOMP
  816. tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
  817. depends on PPP
  818. ---help---
  819. Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
  820. the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
  821. sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
  822. (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
  823. method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
  824. it is safe to say Y here.
  825. The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
  826. above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
  827. and is patent-free.
  828. Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
  829. module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
  830. modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

  881. connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
  882. other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
  883. Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
  884. Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
  885. serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
  886. nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
  887. purpose.
  888. Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
  889. to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
  890. around (available from
  891. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
  892. allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
  893. you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
  894. NET-3-HOWTO, available from

  911. on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
  912. answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
  913. you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
  914. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which

  936. networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
  937. bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
  938. "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
  939. the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
