SLIP is nice for do tests without needs to implement all PPP set.
Remember that SLIP was designed only to transport IP datagrams over a
serial line and PPP to be used with any protocol.

If you're using a communication layer all implemented by software and
designed to be hardware independent (like TCP/IP) you will need they.

Are you crazy? Send TCP packets via PPP? Or make sockets directlly
with PPP? Wow!!!! :)
PPP isn't a communication protocol is only for transportation, it
can't provide a link. PPP is below IP layer (using ISO analogy) and
only packs and depacks IP datagrams.
