Point to Point Protocol :-

Definition-A data-link protocol for communication between two computers that use a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by telephone line to a server.

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is more or less the standard for transporting TCP/IP over serial lines, and thus to connect to an internet provider over a serial line (a modem connection) instead of trough a network interface card. It deals, amongst other things, with the problem of user authentication, and with dynamically assigned IP addresses. PPP takes place between two machines connected by a serial line, a cable connection between serial ports ( COM ports) on the 2 machines. In most cases, part of this serial cable will be replaced by a telephone line, so you'll need an additional piece of equipment that can dial the other side, and transform the bits from the serial port into a signal that can travel over the phone (PSTN) or ISDN line.

This piece of equipment is called a modem. Once this modem connection is established, your ISP will want to make sure that you have a user account (he does not want to provide internet access to people without an account). To use TCP/IP, the standard internet protocol suite, you'll also need an IP address for your machine, IP addresses of the nameservers that will translate URL's in server IP addresses, etc. Most of this information is no longer fixed (so you could keep it in a configuration text file on your computer), but is assigned dynamically, while you set up the connection with your ISP. So the PPP protocol will have to take care of authentication of the user and configuration of the machine that wants to connect to the internet. This is how that works : The modem dials out to your ISP's number, a modem on the other side replies, they wistle to each other to agree on a transmission speed, then start exchanging packets.
