   PPP dial-in and dial-out server configuration  ISP Connectivity ISP connectivity is one type of serial connection. TCP/IP runs over a wide varity of physical media. The media can be Ethernet cables, as in your local Ethernet, or telephone circuits as in a wide area network. All most all data communications takes place via serial interfaces. A serial interface is just an interface that sends data as a series of bits over a single wire, it is just opposite of parallel interface that sends data bits in over several wires simultaneously. In TCP/IP world, dial-up serial connections are popular due to low cost. TCP /IP supports two types of serial line protocol : (1)Serial Lne Interface Protociol (SLIP) and (2)Point-to-Point Protocol(PPP). (1)SLIP: This protocol has some deficiencies, which fall into two categories: The SLIP protocol does not define any link control information that could be used to dynamically control the characteristics of a connection
