They are network interfaces that feed data to a socket rather
than to a piece of wire. Diald prefers to use them rather than
a SLIP device through a pseudo-terminal because an ethertap
device doesn't have the same overhead as SLIP and will handle
any protocol that a real interface can.

Yes. It will use a SLIP-over-pseudo-tty instead.
