information: </p>

<ul><li><strong>The protocol type</strong>. You can choose between PPP and SLIP. IBM<sup>®</sup> suggests that

<li><strong>The mode selection</strong>. The connection type and the operating mode

|
||
|
|
of line your connections rest on and whether they are <strong>dial</strong> (originator)
