10 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
11 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
12 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
13 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
14 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
15
16 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
17 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
18 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
19 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
20 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
21
22 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
23 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
24 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
25 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
26 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
27 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
28 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
29 synchronous PPP", below.
30
31 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
32 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
33 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
34 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.

41 help
42 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
43 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
44 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
45 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
46 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
47 it is safe to say Y here.
48
49 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
50 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
51 and is patent-free.
52
53 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
54 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
55 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
