Hello ... Mobina

Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is generally used with normal analog phone lines and modems whereas ISDN(Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital high speed dedicated phone line which is provided by ISP to the dedicated customers only. ISDN is not a basic/standard analog phone line service.

ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a system of digital phone connections which is compatible with the existing (analog) telephone system. ISDN customers can use their phones to make conventional (analog, dialup) voice connections.
