man ifconfig. ifconfig sl0 down. rmmod slip, or whatever.

It's a serial line protocol carrying a tcp link. SLIP. Usually
deprecated in favour of PPP. I believe slip can run over tcp
and things like telnet connections too, but I may be wrong.

Just stop starting it! That's a silly question - why are you loading the
module and configuring the interface? You must have configured it as
your network device. Remove from your interfaces defn.

Not starting it would seem to be simpler than stopping it!

Take a look at "/etc/network/interfaces". You probably specified the
SLIP interface during the installation. You can remove or comment out
the SLIP section.

SLIP "serial-line-internet-protocol" . You can use it with a null-modem
cable to connect two boxes if you have configured serial ports. Can be
handy.

The interface is being configured by a script in /etc/init.d, I'm pretty
sure. Try grep -rn 'sl0' /etc/init.d
