Most of the people that contact me about SLIP want to use it for the following things: Using a WWW browser from their desktop (like Mosaic or Netscape) FTPing files to their machine Telneting from their machine to the net Sending/Receiving mail from their desktop to/from the net Sending/Receiving news from their desktop to/from the net You can do all of these things (and more) without a static IP address (your own internet IP address which is assigned to you and you only). A static IP address is really only useful if you want to advertize your address to the net so that people can connect TO your machine (if you wanted to run a MUD or an anonymous FTP server or a WWW server, for instance). There are other differences as well, but that is it in a nutshell. Most folks get all the services they need with a dynamic SLIP address or a TIA slip account (which just uses the IP address of the machine you connect to).
