Direct Connect Accounts

Today, you’ll find most ISPs provide direct connect accounts using a framed remote access protocol such as SLIP or PPP. With these accounts, the connecting user is assigned an IP address (or, in the case of static IP addresses, allowed to use an address) on the remote network, so that she may function like an actual node on that network.

SLIP and PPP are both available for these kinds of connections, although usually PPP is used now, since it has many benefits: it is better supported, more robust, and has quite a few link negotiation features that SLIP just doesn’t have. Example users file configurations are shown in Example 10-3.
