PPP

Short for Point-to-Point Protocol, PPP is a communication protocol that enables a user to utilize their dialup connection (commonly a modem) to connect to other network protocols like TCP/IP, IPX, etc... Unlike SLIP, which is another popular dialup connection, protocol PPP offers such new features as password protection and error-correction.
