What is the difference between Shell access and PPP access? Does the Shell let me use TCP/IP for things like Netscape and mIRC?
Shell means you dial into our computer and instruct our computer to do things. PPP means TCP/IP, which means you dial into our router to the Internet, and your computer does the work. You need TCP/IP to take advantage of the graphical part of the Internet, such as Netscape. The Shell is text-based.
