I just "tuned-in" to this newsgroup and read this message about PPP.
I am looking at having my own machine at home after I graduate and
running a SLIP line to a host in my hometown.  It seems as if this
"PPP" is a replacement for SLIP, is that correct?  If so, what are the
+/- between it and SLIP?  Any info would be appreciated.  Please
e-mail to the address below, as I do not always get a chance to read
all the news before it is expired.

Thank's in advance,

	-Chris
