      name="a brief history of FreeBSD">.  To see a description of the
      latest release, read <ref id="relnotes"

    <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.
