Slip

Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is a standard on the Internet for serial line and modem connectivity between two systems. It allows for any one SLIP client to connect to a SLIP server to provide connectivity between different IP hosts. Both systems must have TCP/IP stacks running. Certain SLIP packages even allow the SLIP client to act as a gateway between a local network and a remote network, Ex. all machines on the local network can connect automatically over the SLIP line to remote systems and vice versa. SLIP packages are available for PC systems.
