| ---help--- |
| PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a |

| local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to |
| install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a |
| CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies |
| first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option |
| enabled for this to work. |
| |
| The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel |
| ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected |
| with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 |
| bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on |
| bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a |
| time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in |
| <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to |
| 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows |
| and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet |
| driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) |
| and winsock or NCSA's telnet. |
| |
| If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well |
| as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP |

| config PPP |

| ---help--- |
| PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves |
| the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other |
| serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because |
| otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these |
| days support PPP rather than SLIP. |
| |
| To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described |
| in the PPP-HOWTO, available at |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have |
| the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. |
| The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB. |
| |
| There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for |
| asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and |
| synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for |
| example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other |
| asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to |
| the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over |
| synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support |
| synchronous PPP", below. |
| |
| If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then |
| you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only |
| compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M |
| here. The module will be called ppp_generic. |

| method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it, |
| it is safe to say Y here. |
| |
| The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression", |
