Accessing the
Internet
NOTE: Since these set of web pages started including PPP information, it has been renamed the SLIP/PPP Homepage, and as a result, moved to a more aptly named location: http://sunsite.nus.sg/pub/slip-ppp/. Also, the SunSITE NUS SLIP Homepage now has its own URL at http://sunsite.nus.sg/pub/nusslip/. Please use these new URLs. This page is now obsolete and will be removed in due course.
Welcome to the SLIP/PPP Homepage! Find out all about SLIP and PPP - a low cost method to bring internet access directly to your PC.
