- I sorry if this is an FAQ. What are SLIP packet drivers, and what
- are they used for?
-
- SLIP is the term for a byte-stuffed transport of IP packets over a
- serial line. A packet driver is a bit of PC software that implements
- the FTP Software packet driver specification. Such a packet driver
- can accept IP packets and transport them to the other end of a serial
- link (possibly over a modem).
