Well, it's a long story...
In a nutshell, I have two accounts, both are free, one ISP offers PPP and the
other offers me CSLIP and won't change to PPP as they are having some 
trouble. I need to use both because the CSLIP conection is better as it
is faster: it lets me access a shell on the internet with less hops.
The PPP connection is slow as it uses IP masquerade with novell.
I use the PPP connection more often though because it offers me unlimited 
access. With CSLIP I only get a couple of hours a day.

So, there are some people still offering SLIP/CSLIP and not PPP out there.
You would never have imagined some people were still using SLIP eh? ;-)
