Point-to-Point Protocol -- A protocol that allows a computer to use the TCP/IP (Internet) protocols with a standard telephone line and a high-speed modem. For more information, see the Internet Information Center's Web page on remote network access at yale.
Abbreviation for Point-to-Point Protocol, which is the Internet standard protocol for transmitting network layer datagrams (such as IP packets) over serial point-to-point links.
This is a direct connection from your computer to the Internet, via modem and phone line.
Point to Point Protocol: The protocol that allows a computer to use a telephone line and a modem to make TCP/IP connections, connecting users to the Internet.
(Point to Point Protocol) -- A protocol that allows a computer to use the Internet protocols (TCP/IP) with a standard phone line and a high-speed modem.
Point to Point Protocol - Encapsulates IP packets and transmits and receives them across a serial RS232 connection. It also manages negotiation of configuration information using other protocols such as Link Control Protocol (LCP), Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP).
Point-to-Point Protocol. A channel or link with only two terminals whose purpose is to transmit protocol datagrams at the data link layer over serial point-to-point links.
(Point-to-point protocol) A protocol that allows a computer with a modem to communicate using TCP/IP.
A driver that allows you to use a network communications protocol over a phone line, used with TCP/IP to allow you to have a dial-in Internet host.
Point-to-point protocol, the most popular way of connecting a computer to the Internet via a dialup modem.
A protocol that provides a method for TCP/IP to run over a standard phone line. PPP is newer, and faster, than SLIP.
A communications protocol that enables a dial-up Internet connection.
Point to Point Protocol. It's a dialup connection from a personal computer (PC) to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). PPP is used to transport all the data from the ISP to the local PC
(Point to Point Protocol) -- most well known as a protocol that allows a computer to use a regular telephone line and a modem to make a TCP/IP connection and thus be really and truly on the Internet . PPP is gradually replacing SLIP for this purpose. Back to About HIP
Point-to-Point Protocol; a type of connection over telephone lines that gives you the functionality of a direct ethernet connection.
Point-to-Point Protocol. A method of connecting to the internet, usually via slow-speed modems.
(Point-to-Point Protocol) - A communications protocol that allows a computer using TCP/IP to connect directly to the internet through a dial-up connection.
Abbrevation for Point to Point protocol, a configuration used to connect two computers with either a phone line or network link that acts link a phone line.
Point-to-Point Protocol. PPP Provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.
Point to Point Protocol, a type of Internet protocol used via serial connections by modem. A dialup connection providing IP connectivity.
PPP is a protocol encapsulating a connection to a TCP/IP network through a modem and a telephone line. It is the most common protocol used to connect home computers to the Internet over regular phone lines.
Point to Point Protocol. A protocol such as SLIP that allows your computer to pretend it is a full Internet machine using only a modem and a normal telephone line. Next Column Continue ~ E-Mail Us:

A protocol that is used over the phone line between your computer and your ISP for your Internet connection. You can find the number to dial to access our service via the "Dial-in Sites" look up in My Account.
point-to-point protocol. Don't spell out.
See definition for: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

(Point to Point Protocol) A regular phone line that connects to the Internet.
Point-to-Point Protocol. A link-layer protocol that provides multiprotocol encapsulation. PPP is used for link-layer and network-layer configuration. Provides a standard method for transporting multiprotocol datagrams over point-to-point links. Defined in RFC 1661.
PPP is the mechanism which most end-users establish a network connection between their PC and their Internet service provider with. Once connected, the PC is able to transmit and receive data to any other system on the network.
A method of connecting a computer to the Internet, often used with dial-up modems.
Point-to-Point Protocol. A protocol that encapsulates network layer protocol information over point-to-point links. PPP is defined in RFC 1661.
(Point-to-Point Protocol) A scheme for connecting your computer to the Internet via a phone line.
Protocol used for communication over a modem. Opto 22 SNAP PAC controllers have a serial connector that can be used with PPP to communicate in this way.
Point-to-Point Protocol. Protocol between the terminal and the router. A communications protocol that provides dial-up access to the Internet. PPP encapsulates common network-layer protocols in specialized Network Control Protocol packets; for example, IP over PPP (IPCP) and IPX over PPP (IPXCP).
A communication protocol that allows a computer using TCP/IP to connect directly to the Internet new PPP/MP also allows different remote access devices to communicate with each other.
Point to Protocol. A version of TCP/IP software designed to handle Internet communications over dial-up connections.
(Point-to-Point Protocol): A newer, more efficient asynchronous TCP/IP protocol, designed specifically for users who wish to make the most of a dial-in connection to the Internet.
(Point-to-Point Protocol) - Data communication protocol that handles the sending of data packets over dial-up and leased-line connections. NSU students, faculty and staff in Broward County can use PPP access to dial directly to NSU and access the Internet via NSU. See NSU Dial-up Configuration.
(Point to Point Protocol) An Internet protocol for connecting computers over a serial line.
oint-to- oint- rotocol Protocol used over dialup lines. From a microcomputer and modem, when connection to a PPP telephone dialup line is made, it gives the functionality of a direct ethernet connection. It enables a Web browser, such as Netscape, to be accessed over a phone line.
Point to Point Protocol, a communications protocol that turns a dial-up telephone connection into a point-to-point Internet connection. This is commonly used to run WWW browsers over a phone line.
