<chapt><heading>PPP and SLIP</heading>
<p>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:
<em>user</em> (sometimes referred to as iijppp) and
<em>kernel</em>. The procedures for configuring both types
of PPP, and for setting up SLIP are described in this
chapter.
