Riassunto

Internet users have access to the net with a modem and telephone line, however they cannot run graphical user interfaces (GUIs). To overcome this limitation, dial-up users have to seek out and connect to the net with a service provider who can supply them with SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) and PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) software and a SLIP/PPP account. This underlying software has become the most popular way for modem users to achieve high-speed access to the Internet. The text shows the individual dial-up user the ins and outs of securing and maintaining a SLIP/PPP connection to the Internet. Among the topics discussed are how SLIP and PPP are different from an ordinary dial-up connection and why SLIP/PPP is essential in this day of graphical user interfaces. It also focuses on the needs of the individuals to make their computers SLIP or PPP ready, and the different types of client programs that will run with SLIP/PPP. The Mosaic interface is covered extensively, but other interfaces, such as Netscape, Cello and Viola, also receive considerable treatment.
