+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sl
+.Nd Serial Line IP (SLIP) network interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd pseudo-device sl
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+interface allows asynchronous serial lines to be used as
+.Tn IPv4
+network interfaces using the
+.Tn SLIP
+protocol.
+.Pp
+To use the
+.Nm
+interface, the administrator must first create the interface and assign
+a tty line to it.
+The
+.Nm
+interface is created using the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm create
+subcommand, and
+.Xr slattach 8
+is used to assign a tty line to the interface.
+Once the interface is attached, network source and destination addresses and
+other parameters are configured via
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+interface can use Van Jacobson
+.Tn TCP
+header compression and
+.Tn ICMP
+filtering.
+The following flags to
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+control these properties of a SLIP link:
+.Bl -tag -width Ar
+.It Ar link0
+Turn on Van Jacobson header compression.
+.It Ar -link0
+Turn off header compression. (default)
+.It Ar link1
+Don't pass through ICMP packets.
+.It Ar -link1
+Do pass through ICMP packets. (default)
+.It Ar link2
+If a packet with a compressed header is received, automatically enable
+compression of outgoing packets. (default)
+.It Ar -link2
+Don't auto-enable compression.
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It sl%d: af%d not supported .
+The interface was handed
+a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address
+family; the packet was dropped.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device appeared in
+.Nx 1.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+.Tn SLIP
+can only transmit
+.Tn IPv4
+packets between preconfigured hosts on an asynchronous serial link.
+It has no provision for address negotiation,
+carriage of additional protocols (e.g.
+.Tn XNS ,
+.Tn AppleTalk ,
+.Tn DECNET ) ,
+and is not designed for synchronous serial links.
+This is why
+.Tn SLIP
+has been superseded by the Point-to-Point Protocol
+.Pq Tn PPP ,
+which does all of those things, and much more.
