"PPP (Point to Point Protocol)"

By Juergen Haas, About.com

Definition: PPP (Point to Point Protocol): This provides fairly high speed direct Internet connectivity using a modem. Unlike earlier modem connection methods (which many people still use) PPP is not limited by the software that exists on the host computer. With PPP, all client software (such as Netscape) runs on the local computer.
