PPP = Point-to-Point Protocol SLIP = Serial Line Internet Protocol These are two protocols used to communicate between two machines so that you can do nifty real-time-ish things like "ftp" and "telnet". If all you're interested in is E-mail and Usenet News, you'd best just forget PPP and SLIP for now, and get a user-account on a local Usenet access machine like MIXCOM. If you're desperate for The Real(time) Thing [tm?], you might check with the U.W. Milwaukee Chemistry Department about getting your account on "alchemy" converted over to an Alumni account (if they have such a thing).
