     Name
          slip - serial line IP network interface


     Description
          The slip interface is a driver that allows IP  datagrams  to
          be  sent  over  normal  serial  lines.   This  is useful for
          connecting machines that do not have Ethernet hardware.   As
          with  other network interfaces, the slip interface must have
          network addresses assigned  for  each  address  family  with
          which  it  is  to  be  used.   (Currently, only the Internet
          address family is supported.) These addresses may be set  or
          changed with the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl.
