SLIP




Serial Line Internet Protocol

(pronounced: slip)

A communication protocol used over serial lines to support Internet connectivity. There's not much difference between connecting to the Internet via SLIP or PPP. In general, though, ISPs only offer one protocol, and that's usually PPP (although some support both protocols).
