+What is DIP?
+
+
+DIP is mainly a tool to establish a SLIP connection. It handles all
+the necessary actions to set up the tty port and the modem, dial out
+and finally build up a SLIP connection between the tty port and the
+kernel. To do so, dip offers an own very simple command language (a
+mostly complete description can be found in the man page).
+
+Dip can handle both incoming and outgoing connections using password
+security for incoming connections.
+
+For more details, have a look at the man page!
