Internet

The Internet has become the number one platform for network communi-

cations worldwide. As a true network system, Linux can handle a broad

range of Internet related tasks — both as a server and as a client system.

This chapter discusses some of the topics relevant to the Internet: the con-

ﬁguration of the smpppd (the SUSE Meta PPP Daemon), the manual con-

ﬁguration of ADSL access, and the conﬁguration of the Squid proxy.
